Job Description

Variety Coffee Roasters is a New York specialty coffee company founded in 2008 as a single cafe, and today roasting and serving our coffee at 9 of our own shops across the city, as well as with dynamic wholesale partners of every shape and size. At Variety, we believe that coffee should be fun. While we take our coffee seriously, we try not to take ourselves too seriously. Seriously.

The ideal Variety cafe is welcoming, unpretentious and excellent. Variety is seeking a barista who is excited to help us cultivate that type of space at our cafe in the Upper East Side on Lexington Ave.

Variety is invested in building a team that reflects the diversity of our hometown, NYC. We’re committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels welcome to be exactly who they are, and we encourage applicants of every identity to join us in living up to that commitment.

Responsibilities for this role Include:
• Preparing high quality and consistent coffee and tea drinks
• Basic cash handling
• Maintaining overall cleanliness of the cafe (both behind the bar and on the floor) in compliance with NYC DOH standards
• Overall upkeep of facilities (ie sweeping and/or shoveling sidewalks, etc)
• Positive teamwork and cooperation
• Excellent customer service driven by warmth, quality, and speed
• Occasional scheduling at cafes other than ‘home’ store, including off-site events
• Coffee knowledge is always a plus but not a requirement. We provide coffee education and continuing training to all of our cafe staff.

Requirements:
• Must be comfortable closing the cafe alone; our closing baristas spend the conclusion of their shift working solo behind the counter and performing duties by themselves in the store.
• New York Food Handlers’ license within 30 days of hire
• Ability to lift up to 50lbs and work on foot in a fast-paced environment for 8 hours

Compensation:
• $17/hr + tips
• Healthcare, dental and vision benefits offered for full-time employees after 90 days with employer contribution of 50%
