With a mission to help all families discover the joy of everyday life, Target emphasizes inclusivity, diversity, and opportunity within its dynamic work culture.

Within Target, the Food & Beverage team plays a crucial role by ensuring guests enjoy a consistent, fresh, and well-stocked shopping experience.

The team’s operational expertise spans inventory management, replenishment, food safety compliance, and the overall presentation of products, enabling Target to maintain high standards and customer satisfaction.

The role of a Starbucks Barista at Target offers a unique opportunity to develop valuable skills in customer service, food quality management, and safe operational practices. Starbucks Baristas are essential in delivering the consistent, hand-crafted Starbucks experience, ensuring high-quality food and beverage products are available, fresh, and prepared to exact specifications. As part of this role, employees are expected to uphold food safety standards set by state and federal guidelines and comply with OSHA requirements, guaranteeing a clean and safe environment for guests and team members alike.

Each day as a Starbucks Barista involves multiple responsibilities, including assisting guests with digital and in-store Starbucks orders, managing food and beverage stocks, applying proper rotation and disposal procedures for perishable items, and supporting guest services like the Starbucks Drive Up, Order Pick Up, and back-up cashier roles.

They are also trained to engage guests warmly, creating a welcoming atmosphere that aligns with Target’s customer-first philosophy.

Target seeks candidates who thrive in fast-paced, team-oriented environments and can adapt to flexible schedules, including nights, weekends, and holidays. The ideal candidate enjoys helping others, communicates effectively, and follows detailed procedures with attention to detail. Previous Starbucks or food service experience is preferred but not required, as comprehensive training is provided.

The hourly starting pay for this role is $15.75 USD, reflecting Target’s commitment to offering competitive wages and valuable career-building opportunities. Employees benefit from Target's inclusive culture and ongoing development resources, supporting their personal and professional growth.
