Are you 18 or older? Are you the kind of person who brings energy to the room without a double shot of espresso? Then WE NEED YOU!
We're looking for a Café Barista (that's you!) to join our fun and high-energy crew. At Mugshot Coffee, we pride ourselves on serving the best coffee, breakfast and lunch in town while creating a vibe that isn't your typical, stuffy café.

Job Description:
- Master the Machines: Become one with our espresso machine, grinder, flat top and oven. (don’t worry, they all have names and they love you).
- Craft Art: Pour latte art that’ll make Instagram jealous. If you can’t draw a perfect heart, no worries - neither can we.
- Provide Epic Service: Greet customers with a smile, take their order, and whip up a cup of joy in less than 5 minutes. Food in less than 10. No pressure. Okay, a little pressure.
- Stay Cool Under Heat: Handle the rush during the morning caffeine craze without spilling a drop of your own sanity (or coffee).
- Keep Things Tidy: A clean workspace is a happy workspace, so wipe, scrub, and organize like your grandma would approve.
- Satisfy the Coffee Newbs: Educate our guests on our beans, blends, and brewing techniques. Become their personal coffee guru, even if they think a “mocha latte” is a high-level philosophical question.

Why You Should Apply:
- Almost Unlimited Coffee: You’re literally allowed to drink as much coffee as you can handle (we’ll encourage it moderately).
- Cool Coworkers: Work with a group of coffee aficionados who care more about fun than fancy titles (though we do wear aprons like pros).
- Tips, Tips, Tips: The more you charm our customers, the more you get to take home. We’re all about sharing the love (and the coffee funds).
- Skill Development: Learn the secrets behind the best brews, become a wrapper, and maybe even be able to pronounce all the coffee terms without hesitation.
- Café Fashion: Stylish apron provided (and yes, it's flattering). Plus, wear comfy shoes because you’ll be on your feet and making magic all shift.

What We’re Looking for:
- Coffee Lover: You don't have to be a professional, but a passion for coffee is a must. If you’ve never had a cold brew, we’ll educate you!
- Customer Service Savvy: A friendly smile, a positive attitude, and the ability to remember customer orders (even when they change their mind 5 times).
- Quick Thinker: When the line gets long, you stay calm and keep the coffee flowing. A sense of humor under pressure is a huge bonus.
- Team Player: You’ll work with a team who loves coffee, bad puns, and singing along to the radio—especially if it’s 80s rock.
- Willing to Learn: We’ll train you to make the best breakfast and beverages in town. Just bring your enthusiasm, and we’ll take care of the rest.
