Work at Rowan

The Mission

In the same way that coffee tastes best when all of its attributes are in balance, we believe that a business functions best when all of its elements are coordinated and balanced. We want to create an open and comfortable space for both guests and employees; to push the coffee industry forward in terms of service, quality, business practices, and sustainability. We are striving to help build a viable future for coffee, from the cafe level all the way back to the producers.

 

The Job: Barista

As a Rowan barista, you will be the face of both the business and the end point of a complex supply chain. This means you will:

  • be an integral part of creating a safe and uplifting environment to make a positive impact on our community
  • have a working knowledge of the coffee industry and the specific coffees we offer
  • serve as a communicator for the uniqueness of coffee and processes involved in creating the final product
  • offer recommendations, receive orders, prepare beverages and food, and facilitate retail sales
  • self-motivate and work both individually and as a team member to fulfill tasks
  • help organize/display incoming shipments 
  • observe all daily and weekly cleaning and maintenance tasks to prepare for future shifts
  • maintain a calm demeanor while acting with a sense of urgency
  • uphold the highest degree of quality while pursuing efficiency
  • likely be very overly caffeinated :)

The Perks

We want to make this a workplace that provides a fun and supportive, yet challenging environment. We want to foster growth in the coffee industry at large and help contribute to more sustainable hospitality careers in our community. As your employer we promise to:

  • offer a starting wage of $13.50/hour + gratuity with a promotion to $15/hour + gratuity post-training
  • 3-5 days PTO (dependent on part vs full time)
  • create opportunities for education and growth
  • honor you as an individual—this job is meant to support your life, not dominate it
  • hold open discussions for employee feedback with systems for direct action and follow-up
  • annual company performance based bonuses
