About us
The Village Perk is a small business in Puyallup, WA and surrounding area. We are a mobile coffee truck working different events across the state. We generally work in a fast paced environment.
Our work environment includes:
- Casual work attire
- Flexible working hours
- Lively atmosphere
- Regular social events
We are seeking a fun, friendly and high energy individual to join our team as a Barista. This position is ideal for an individual with communication skills and an interest in the service industry.
Input: Individuals with experience in customer service and attention to detail are encouraged to apply for this position.
While sometimes challenging due to high volume service, inclement weather and the technical side of the cart operation, it's very rewarding considering the often large weekly tips and positive feedback and praise baristas get from customers and clients.
A typical event day will bring in $20-$30 in tips per hour. The position requires a good deal of independence, confidence and trustworthiness to be successful.
If you require the usual co-working situation, this probably isn't your cup o' tea. However, if you like developing your own workplace environment without the constant intrusion of supervisors and other workers messing with your flow (and have a love for coffee) we urge you to apply!
