Barista

BarleyBean Coffee is a local Austin specialty coffee brand known for quality, consistency, and a genuine commitment to the communities it serves. We're opening our first hospital café location inside St. David's Hospital South Austin — and we're looking for an experienced barista who brings more than great coffee skills to the counter. This is a unique opportunity to be part of something new. You'll be one of the first faces of BarleyBean at this location, helping shape the team culture and operational standards from day one. You'll be the owners' right hand on the floor. You'll set the standard, shape the culture, and eventually train the people who come after you. **About This Role's Environment — Please Read Before Applying** We want to be transparent with you: **this is a hospital café, and it is not a typical coffee shop experience.** St. David's South Austin is a working hospital. The people walking through our door may be nurses and doctors on a 10\-minute break who need their order right, right now. They may be a family member who just received difficult news and is looking for something warm and familiar. **What that means for you:** * Speed and accuracy are non\-negotiable. Healthcare workers rely on us to get them in and out quickly so they can get back to their patients. * You'll regularly serve guests who are stressed, exhausted, grieving, or all three. Emotional steadiness and quiet compassion are important here. If you've worked in fast\-paced or high\-stakes environments you likely already know what this kind of work asks of you. We'd love to hear from you. If you've never worked in a hospital setting, that's okay — We'd rather you know upfront than find out on your first week. **Knowledge/Skills/Abilities** * Real experience in specialty coffee (extraction, dialing in espresso, etc.) * Pull consistent, quality espresso shots and prepare a full specialty drink menu according to recipes, smoothies and a limited food menu. * Strong hospitality
