Smoothie Server/Barista

Job Summary

MAINLY LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO COVER THE SUNDAY SHIFT. IT'S FROM 9:30AM-5:30PM EVERY SUNDAY. IF YOU CAN'T WORK THAT DAY THEN DON'T SCHEDULE AN INTERVIEW.

I am looking for an enthusiastic and responsible server to make and server smoothies out of the Portland Rock Gym in Beaverton You would just be responsible for the smoothie bar inside of the gym, not expected to know the ins and outs of the rest of it. The more climbing experience the better since it is our only clients but not necessary

Not a lot of shifts so great for anybody looking to fill out their hours every week, but mostly great if you want to be a member

You would be a full employee of the gym and get all of the benefits. Including a free membership, special employee pricing on classes and all sorts of pro-shop and retail discounts The hours aren't much, you would be starting at 1 days a week and covering occasionally when needed. Not a lot of growth in the position as it stands, so I am keenly looking for people who really want the membership or anybody who wants to try climbing for cheap

Food service experience isn't a must but unless you have a good compelling cover letter to want to work here, I will likely pass by any resumes with no food service.

That being said we are looking to open up a full kitchen and cafe in the gym, so barista experience is a HUGE plus.

I am looking to hire somebody and get them working ASAP, ideally by next week. So availability and no requests off for the rest of the summer will shoot you to the top of the list.

I am a big fan of cover letters that get specific of why you want to work here

Responsibilities

• Greet, take the order of and make the smoothie for members and customers that approach you.
• Correctly navigate our POS system in order to make sure everyone gets what they pay for
• Provide recommendations, give whatever nutritional information we have and upsell people on something they will actually buy
• Serve smoothies promptly and clean up after yourself well. Our system is built for speed and our space is entirely exposed. Keeping everything clean is a must.
• Get to know the members, you will likely start to see the same people every week so getting to know them and making them feel like a true regular can help tremendously
• CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN. Make sure you are cleaning up after yourself and making the space as nice as possible. There is plenty of downtime to accomplish this on any given day.
• Prep fruit and liquid to make sure you are as set up for your day, and your coworkers day's in the day's after.
• Handwashing dishes. We currently don't have a dishwasher so if you can't scrub dishes then that will be a deal breaker.
• Doing our own laundry. The gym has a washer/dryer and we are responsible for keeping our own linens clean.

Qualifications

• Previous experience in any food service job is preferred. Ideally both customer facing and food prep. Not needed but will be a huge boon for you if so.
• Oregon Food Handlers card. Required in the first 3 days of being hired, if you do not get me that by then I will be onto the next person.
• Good communication skills, enjoys talking to people and fielding their questions.
• Familiar with any kind of POS system. Trust me you will have never had one like ours
• Good time management skills, a good sense of self motivation. You will be working alone 95% of the time so you are entirely responsible for it while you are here. If things aren't done the next day that you had time for there will be a problem
• Reliable ride to work It doesn't have to be a car, though it will make this particular journey that much easier. But if you take Trimet, make sure you are adding some padding to your arrival times. If you are habitually 15 minutes late, you are clearly taking the wrong bus
• You are a climber, want a full gym to work out in or like yoga The $$ potential is pretty low, so I want to make it clear that you should be taking this job because you desperately want to not pay for that membership, and want some extra cash every week.

I hope to hear from you and hopefully we can get one of you in there soon
