Lead Barista
Full-time
Boo
Boo, NYC
Boo are the first phase of a new hospitality project created by a veteran New York team
with decades of experience opening, operating, and evolving some of New York City's
most respected concepts. We're looking for an experienced Coffee Program Manager to help build, not simply
run our coffee program from the ground up. This is a hands-on leadership role for
someone who wants to take ownership of the guest experience, coffee quality, team
development, and the evolution of the café. You'll be the steward of our coffee program, from the first dial-in each morning to the
next seasonal menu. Our Philosophy
Our approach is rooted in classic technique with a quietly unexpected point of view. We value exceptional coffee, thoughtfully sourced teas, beautiful pastries, seasonal
food, and beverages that are balanced, purposeful, and visually compelling. Creativity
comes through restraint, craftsmanship, seasonality, and an understanding of flavor not
novelty for novelty's sake. We aim to create a café that is sophisticated without pretension, welcoming without
compromise, and memorable because every detail has been thoughtfully considered. Qualifications
looking for someone who leads with humility, takes ownership, loves teaching others,
and believes the smallest details create the most memorable guest experiences.
If you're passionate about specialty coffee, thoughtful hospitality, and building
something with purpose, we'd love to hear from you.
