Coffee Shop Barista | Sheraton Airport Hotel | Portland, OR

What You'll Do:

To some, you're a person who makes drinks. To others, you're a friend, confidant, part-time therapist and the #1 reason they got up this morning. Our Baristas are responsible for preparing and serving drinks and food items in a warm and inviting manner-even at ridiculously early hours of the day. You must be a natural born people-person. You will be interacting with hotel guests and other patrons all day long so a friendly, outgoing personality is essential. We want you to develop a rapport with customers by learning their names, favorite drinks and food items.

Here are a few things you can expect to do on a typical day:

• Relaying your understanding of coffee and tea regions and the various differences in flavor and blends to customers.
• Taking orders and conveying them to team members for preparation.
• Maintaining inventory by replenishing coffee bean & food supply and stocking brewing equipment.
• You will preferably have worked in a restaurant before but if not, its ok - we can train you; as long as you have the desire to learn and impact our guests in a positive way!

Where You've Been:

We're looking for someone with a High School diploma (or equivalent) as well as a Food Handler's Permit. Previous experience in the food & beverage industry is a definite plus. The ability to think on your feet and work calmly under pressure is essential. Multi-taskers, we want you!

When You're Here:

This probably goes without saying but you'll be on your feet a lot. There will be occasions when you may be carrying/lifting up to 25 pounds, walking, bending/twisting and climbing stairs You'll be needed to work flexible schedules including weekends. But wait, there's a great upside: in exchange for your flexibility we offer excellent pay, hotel discounts, and the opportunity to be part of an anything-but-standard growing hotel company.
