Barista Shift Leader
Job Description
Lead the floor, coach the team, and step onto a real path toward store and district leadership.
Established in 1998, Scooter's Coffee has become one of the premier specialty coffee companies in the industry. We may be one of the fastest-growing specialty coffee brands, but simplicity is at our core: sustainably sourced ingredients we handcraft into perfection. We believe in taking time to connect and create an amazing experience in each life we touch. We live our core values of integrity, love, humility and courage, and we are looking for talented, passionate, amazing people to join our team.
Each store in NC is owned and operated by a local franchisee, so you'll be part of a close-knit local team, not a faceless corporate machine.
WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS
The Shift Leader position is responsible for helping us maintain our culture day-in and day-out. You'll run the floor, set the pace and be the person the team looks to when the Store Manager is out. Our owner is hands-on, caring and committed, with multiple locations on the way, and his number one focus is always building and encouraging a great team. For someone who wants to grow, that's the whole point. Strong Shift Leaders are exactly who we look to for Store Manager and, down the road, District Manager roles as we add stores.
THE ROLE
As a Shift Leader, you direct an efficient workflow, support the Store Manager and model what great looks like behind the counter. You're the team leader when the Store Manager is unavailable, and you set the tone for the whole shift.
