About Starbucks Coffee Company

Starbucks Coffee Company is the premier global coffeehouse chain, renowned for crafting the world's finest coffee and creating welcoming third places where communities connect. With thousands of stores across the United States and beyond, Starbucks isn't just about serving coffee—it's about fostering human connections, one cup at a time. In Jacksonville, Florida, our Store# 08395 at 1980 San Marco Boulevard embodies this mission, offering a vibrant space for locals to unwind, work, or socialize over expertly brewed beverages.

Founded on principles of quality, community, and sustainability, Starbucks sources ethically grown coffee beans and commits to environmental responsibility. As a Barista here, you'll be part of a brand that values its partners (that's Starbucks speak for employees) as much as its customers, providing industry-leading benefits and growth opportunities from day one.

Role Overview

The Barista role at Starbucks Store# 08395 in Jacksonville, Florida, is perfect for energetic individuals who thrive in dynamic environments. No prior experience is required—Starbucks invests in your training to ensure you can deliver exceptional service. You'll craft beverages like lattes, frappuccinos, and fresh brews while preparing food items to perfection. Every shift offers chances to brighten days with warm smiles, personalized orders, and genuine interactions. Flexible hours accommodate early mornings, evenings, weekends, nights, and holidays, making it ideal for students, parents, or anyone seeking a rewarding entry-level position in the retail food sector.

Why This Role Stands Out

In a fast-paced store setting, Baristas are the heart of the operation, turning routine orders into meaningful moments. Whether remembering a customer's favorite drink or recommending a new seasonal blend, your role directly impacts guest satisfaction and loyalty.

Key Responsibilities

As a Barista, your daily duties focus on excellence in service, product quality, and store operations:

• Engage with customers through clear, pleasant communication to discover and respond to their needs.
• Prepare high-quality food and beverages according to standard recipes, including customizations like temperature adjustments or ingredient substitutions.
• Adhere to store policies on quality control, cash handling, safety, and security standards.
• Perform a variety of tasks per shift, from restocking to cleaning, ensuring a seamless operation.
• Build lasting relationships with regulars, creating warm and welcoming experiences that keep them coming back.

These responsibilities ensure our Jacksonville store runs smoothly while upholding Starbucks' premium standards.
