This job opening is for Team Members at Kaldi's Coffee Medical Campus locations, including the Neuroscience Research Building, Siteman Cancer Center, and Medical Campus Central (MCC). This role involves working both front-of-house and back-of-house, where you will take orders, prepare drinks and food, and ensure the café runs smoothly and efficiently during daytime hours. The position offers a base pay starting at $12 per hour, but with a shared tip pool, employees' combined hourly rate will not fall below $17 per hour. Importantly, this role only requires daytime shifts with no late nights or closing shifts, accommodating those who prefer earlier hours.

This is a role requiring weekday availability and a commitment to a minimum of three shifts per week. The fast-paced environment of a high-volume medical campus demands precision, excellent communication, and consistent reliability. Kaldi's Coffee emphasizes that this is not a role where employees can coast through their shifts. Instead, they seek motivated individuals who are punctual, engaged, and able to contribute positively to the team effort. Dedicated employees are recognized, and there is a clear path for career advancement since many leads and managers began as team members.

Kaldi's Coffee provides comprehensive training for all new hires, so prior café experience is not necessary. The company supports its staff with valuable perks such as free coffee during shifts, a free bag of coffee monthly, half-price food and drinks on and off shift, holiday pay at 1.5 times the regular rate, and full benefits for full-time employees. Benefits include health, dental, and vision insurance, paid time off, a 401(k) plan after one year of service at 20+ hours per week, gym reimbursement, and access to the Kaldi's Cares Fund to support team members experiencing unexpected hardships.

Kaldi's Coffee fosters a culture of growth and community, making it an ideal workplace for someone looking for steady employment with opportunities for development. The company values employees who show up consistently, engage fully during busy periods, and communicate effectively with their teammates. Available shifts occur Monday through Friday, and reliable transportation to the medical campus is necessary. Physical requirements include the ability to stand for extended periods and lift up to 25 pounds.

This team member role can be full-time or part-time with flexible scheduling options and paid training provided. Candidates will be asked to confirm their weekday availability, commitment to the number of shifts per week, and experience with fast-paced or demanding environments during the application process. Kaldi's Coffee invites applicants who thrive in a fast-moving, customer-focused atmosphere and are eager to be part of a supportive and growth-oriented team to apply today.
