Seven Grams Caffe
Baristas
New York, New York

Hey there, Coffee Rockstar.
We’re hiring superstar baristas for our Chelsea and Varick locations. Want to hear more?

Show Job Listing (462 More Words)

Let’s get to know each other better. We’ll go first
• We’re an independent, family-like business: We’re a very close-knit team and we’re as non-corporate as it gets. That means that our management knows every single team member by name, that you won’t be a small peon in a huge system, that your opinion will matter, and that we will mentor you and invest in your growth.
• We offer tons of opportunities for growth: We’re always on the lookout for the best talent to take on managerial roles and that the right people can advance quickly. And, we walk our talk - both of our amazing store managers started out as baristas and moved up the ranks.
• We have a serious sweet tooth: We take real pride in what they do and are obsessed with providing the best customer experience possible. That’s why we didn’t want to complement our premium brews with lackluster bakes, and we started our own bakery. We make everything we sell – cakes, cookies, you name it – in-house, from scratch, baked fresh every single day. If you also take pride in your craft, then you’ve come to the right place.
Our personal pet peeve
Lateness. We’ll always be respectful of your time, and we’re looking for people who are respectful of our customer’s time as well. If you often find yourself late to work, then it just wasn’t meant to be.

Now let’s talk perks
• We offer a competitive hourly compensation
• We offer healthcare benefits – medical, vision and dental (yaaaasss)
• We offer the dream diet - All-you-can-drink Seven Grams coffee and 50% off all Seven Grams baked goods

What makes our dream barista?
• You take your coffee very, very personally. You have an uncompromising passion for all-things coffee and you can produce some mean latte art.
• You can jump right in and make the perfect Cortado. That will likely mean that you’ve had 1-year (or more) experience in a specialty coffee environment, and that you can operate a manual espresso machine like La Marzocco in your sleep.
• You’re fun to work with and to be around. We’d be happy to wake up early in the morning to work a shift with you, and you’ll always provide our customers with a warm, friendly and welcoming experience.
• You’re serious about your craft and you take pride in it. You want everything you’re involved in to be of the highest standard. That will likely mean that you have an eye for detail, that you’re proactive, and that you’re invested in what you do.

What’s gonna win you brownie points
• Having a New York Food Handlers’ Certificate.
• You have availability to work on weekends.

Your turn.
Let’s get to know each other better. Coffee’s on us
We can’t wait to hear from you!
