Job Description
Utah Valley University (UVU) is a leading institution committed to fostering education, innovation, and community engagement. Located in Orem, Utah, UVU offers a diverse and dynamic environment that supports the growth and development of its students, staff, and faculty through various services and facilities on campus. Among these services is a collaboration with Starbucks Corporation, which operates a Starbucks outlet managed by the UVU Bookstore. This partnership provides high-quality Starbucks beverages and products to the UVU community in a convenient campus location.
The establishment is known for its dedication to customer satisfaction, delivering excellent service, and maintaining Starbucks brand standards. The Starbucks outlet within UVU is not only a place to grab your daily coffee but a vibrant social hub where students and faculty can relax, meet, and recharge during their busy days. As a part of the university’s commitment to offering work opportunities to its students, the Starbucks outlet is looking for enthusiastic and responsible Baristas to join their team.
The Barista position at UVU Starbucks is an exciting opportunity for current UVU students who want to gain valuable customer service experience while balancing their academic schedule. Working under the direction of the Manager of Starbucks and in partnership with the UVU Bookstore, the Barista serves students, staff, and faculty by preparing beverages according to Starbucks' official recipes and customer preferences. The role is not just about making coffee; it requires the barista to be a brand ambassador who embodies the values and standards of both UVU and Starbucks Corporation.
The workweek includes Monday through Thursday from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm, and Friday from 7:30 am to 5:00 pm, with weekends off, making it a suitable job for students. Responsibilities encompass beverage preparation, cash handling, inventory management, and maintaining a clean and inviting retail environment. The position requires adherence to hygiene and safety protocols including product date tagging, regular cleaning, and food safety compliance as mandated by possessing a valid Food Handler's permit. Moreover, this role is ideal for individuals who enjoy a fast-paced, social work setting and are passionate about delivering high-quality service.
Joining the UVU Starbucks team offers a valuable chance to refine customer service techniques, work collaboratively in a team environment, and develop skills that are transferable across many industries. Students will gain firsthand experience in food and beverage preparation, point-of-sale transactions, and merchandise handling while representing two highly respected brands. Employment with UVU Starbucks fosters a supportive atmosphere conducive to personal and professional growth, ensuring that the Barista role is rewarding and enriching.
To apply, candidates must be current UVU students and submit a resume along with their Spring 2026 class schedule. This ensures that scheduling work hours around academic commitments is feasible. This part-time position provides a great balance for students seeking to supplement their education with work experience in a well-known brand setting. It’s an excellent stepping stone for those interested in careers within the food service industry or customer relations and offers a platform to build communication, multitasking, and problem-solving skills essential for future success.
