Barista

Alright, let's talk about this Barista job at Dutch Bros in Indianapolis, IN. I've been placing people here for years, and I'll be straight with you: it's not a slow, quiet coffee gig. It's loud, it's fast, and you're going to move. If that sounds like your kind of energy, read on.

The Day to Day

You're the first person our customers see. Your main job is to connect.

• Greet everyone with a genuine smile and make their visit fun.
• Help folks navigate the menu and find drinks they'll love.
• Craft a high volume of quality drinks quickly, without sacrificing that connection.
• Keep your workspace clean and follow all food safety standards.
• Show up on time, ready to work, for every scheduled shift.

You're living the company values every shift: radiate kindness, get up early, stay up late.
