About Starbucks Coffee Company

Starbucks Coffee Company is the world's premier purveyor of the finest coffee, passionately sourcing the highest quality beans and roasting them with great care. With over 38,000 stores in more than 80 countries, Starbucks creates inviting spaces where communities connect. Founded in 1971 in Seattle's Pike Place Market, the company has grown into a global icon, committed to ethical sourcing, sustainability, and uplifting partners (that's what we call our employees). At Starbucks, every cup tells a story of craftsmanship, innovation, and human connection. As a Shift Supervisor in Union, New Jersey, you'll be at the heart of this mission, leading a team that crafts moments of joy for customers daily.

Role Overview

The Shift Supervisor role at Starbucks Store# 58526 on Vermella Union / Morris Ave in Union, New Jersey, is perfect for dynamic leaders ready to elevate the customer experience. In this full-time position, you'll oversee operations during your shift, ensuring every beverage and food item meets Starbucks' legendary standards. You'll coach baristas, manage workflows, and foster a positive team environment while upholding our commitment to safety, quality, and service excellence. With flexible hours that may include early mornings, evenings, weekends, nights, and holidays, this role demands reliability and enthusiasm for the retail coffee industry.

Why This Role Stands Out

Unlike standard retail supervisory positions, Shift Supervisor at Starbucks combines hands-on barista expertise with leadership responsibilities. You'll not only direct the work of others but also dive into recipe customization, from adjusting temperatures to substituting ingredients for personalized orders. This is leadership with a personal touch, where your ability to build relationships directly impacts store success and customer loyalty.

Key Responsibilities

As a Shift Supervisor, your day-to-day impact will be profound:

• Maintain regular and consistent attendance and punctuality, modeling reliability for your team.
• Work flexible hours to meet store needs, including early mornings, evenings, weekends, nights, and holidays.
• Enforce store operating policies and standards, covering quality beverages and food products, precise cash handling, and rigorous safety and security protocols.
• Prepare and coach the team in crafting food and beverages to exact recipes or customized specifications, ensuring every order delights.
• Delegate tasks effectively and coordinate the efforts of two or more employees to keep operations smooth and efficient.

Leadership in Action

Your ability to direct others will shine as you motivate baristas during peak rushes, resolve customer requests with poise, and maintain the high-energy vibe Starbucks is known for. This role is about more than supervision—it's about inspiring excellence in a fast-paced retail environment.
