Job description
The Happy Cow is hiring an experienced barista to join our team. We're a fast\-casual burger and coffee shop built on clean, high\-quality ingredients — house\-made syrups, refined\-sugar\-free options, pasture\-raised beef, gluten\-free accommodations, and a guest experience that actually feels thought\-through. We're not a corporate coffee shop, so we need someone who cares about quality, consistency, and the details. If you'd rather help build something with a small local business than get lost in a chain, this is for you.
**Details**
* Location: OCC
* Schedule: 27–35 hours/week; morning and weekend availability required
* Pay: $15–$15\.50/hour depending on experience, plus **tips**
* Closed Monday
* Applications accepted on an ongoing basis until the position is filled
**What You'll Do**
* Pull consistent espresso drinks, cold brew, teas, and smoothies
* Give warm, confident service through every rush
* Open and/or close the front of house
* Keep the café clean, stocked, and running smoothly
* Help train newer baristas once you're settled in
* Communicate clearly with kitchen staff and ownership
**What We're Looking For**
* Prior barista experience required; espresso machine experience strongly preferred
* Dependable, organized, and a calm, steady presence during a rush
* Strong customer service and communication skills
* Comfortable in a small business where everyone pitches in
* Interest in clean food or high\-quality coffee is a plus
* Shift lead or leadership experience is a plus, but not required for the right person
Pay: $15\.00 \- $15\.50 per hour
Benefits:
* Employee discount
* Paid sick time
Work Location: In person
