Barista

Barista PositionOur story began in 2011 when a group of office workers at a major logistics company in Chicago had a lunch problem. Nearby options were limited, and the team was spending too much time and money traveling to their favorite restaurants. These foodies had an idea: connect with local chefs and bring their culture inside the office to sell food from their authentic restaurants. It was an immediate hit. When they discovered people from other companies sneaking into their office, they knew they were on to something. Fooda pioneered the concept of rotating Popup restaurants inside offices. Today, we operate in 45 cities with over 100 million meals served and continue to grow rapidly. Powered by technology and a network of 3,500+ restaurants, we feed hungry people at work through a platform of unique food programs located within companies, office buildings, hospitals, schools, distribution centers, and more. At Fooda, we believe a workplace food program should be something employees love and look forward to every day. Eight out of ten employees believe Fooda is one of their company's top perks.Position OverviewDue to expanding growth, Fooda is hiring a Barista at our client location.Who You AreYou are comfortable with customers and enjoy customer serviceYou are comfortable with handling cash and providing accurate changeYou are friendly, high energy and comfortable interacting with other peopleYou are able to lift up to 40 lbs and stand on your feet for up to two hoursYou are comfortable with technology and running a POS systemPrior barista and cashier experience preferredWhat You Will Be Responsible ForPrepare coffee and espresso drinks and other beverage items using standard measures and recipesStock and maintain coffee station supplies while maintaining cleanliness of service areaRun and maintain a POS system with attention to detail and accuracyBuild relationships with customers by maintaining a positive environmentGo out of your way to provide a high level of customer serviceStrong communication skills and being a self-starter are requiredKnow and maintain the Fooda Standards of Service and Sanitation on a daily basisEscalate issues to Manager when necessary to keep them informed or help problem solveWhat We'll Hook You Up WithCompetitive wages $20/hr-$22.50/hrInsurance benefits plans - healthcare, dental and visionPaid time off401k retirement plan with Fooda company matchPre-tax commuter expense benefitAnnual stock option grant each summerLong-term opportunities for advancement within FoodaDaily lunch subsidy at your café locationA fulfilling, challenging work experience!Must be authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis.
