The company is seeking an energetic, reliable, and hospitality‑focused Coffee Cart Barista to operate and maintain a workplace coffee cart for a client. This role differs from a traditional café barista: in addition to preparing high‑quality espresso and coffee beverages, the barista is responsible for daily setup, operation, replenishment, cleaning, and breakdown of a self‑contained coffee cart that is not connected to a permanent water source, requiring hands‑on handling of water containers.

Responsibilities

• Prepare espresso‑based beverages, coffee, tea, and other menu items according to established recipes and quality standards.
• Provide friendly, professional, and engaging service to employees and guests.
• Maintain consistency in beverage quality, presentation, and service.
• Become familiar with menu offerings, ingredients, and common dietary or allergen questions.
• Keep the coffee cart organized and welcoming throughout service.
• Ensure espresso machine, grinders, refrigeration, water system, and other equipment are ready for operation.
• Stock cups, lids, milk, alternative milks, coffee, syrups, teas, napkins, and other supplies.
• Monitor inventory during the shift and replenish products as needed.
• Maintain an organized back‑stock area and communicate inventory needs before products run out.
• Complete closing procedures and securely organize the cart at the end of service.
• Keep the cart’s water supply and wastewater areas clean and sanitary.
• Clean and sanitize the espresso machine, steam wands, grinders, pitchers, tools, counters, sinks, and service areas.
• Wash and organize dishes and reusable equipment throughout the shift.
• Remove trash, recycling, coffee grounds, and other waste as needed.
• Receive and organize coffee, milk, supplies, and other deliveries when required.
• Rotate products using FIFO (First In, First Out) procedures and check expiration dates and product quality.
• Report low inventory, damaged equipment, maintenance concerns, or product issues to management promptly.

Requirements

• Hospitality, customer service, and barista experience.
• Ability to arrive on‑time at the client’s office each day.
• Standing and walking for extended periods; frequent bending, reaching, twisting, and moving around the coffee cart.
• Moving and replenishing water containers throughout the shift.
• Transporting product and supplies between storage areas and the coffee cart.
• Performing repetitive tasks associated with beverage preparation, cleaning, stocking, and cart maintenance.
• Reasonable accommodations will be considered in accordance with applicable law.
