Hospitality
Barista — The District
Dorr, Michigan · thedistrictcoffee.com
About Us
The District is a specialty coffee shop in a restored 1909 schoolhouse in Dorr, Michigan. We take our craft seriously and our people even more so — this is a place where community and quality coffee come together. We're looking for a barista to join our team and help keep the bar running strong through the day.
Shift
Mid-shift coverage, typically late morning through early-to-mid afternoon, Monday–Saturday. Exact days/hours discussed at interview based on availability and business need.
What You'll Do
- Prepare espresso drinks, coffee, and tea to our recipe and quality standards
- Run the register and take food/drink orders with warmth and speed
- Build and serve our food menu items to spec
- Keep the bar, food station, and dining area clean and stocked throughout your shift
- Restock proactively — don't wait to be asked
- Communicate clearly with teammates during handoffs
- Represent The District's hospitality standard with every guest, every time
Room to Grow
We start every new hire on mid-shift so you can build a strong foundation without the pressure of opening or closing. As you train up and show consistency, more scheduling flexibility opens up — including opening and closing shifts.
Who We're Looking For
We hire for character first, skills second. You don't need barista experience — we'll train you on the craft. What we can't train is:
- A genuine, warm approach to people
- Composure during a rush
- Self-awareness and coachability
- Reliability — you show up when you're scheduled, on time, ready to work
- A real motivation to be here,
Requirements
- Must be 18 or older
- Available for mid-shift hours, Monday–Saturday
- Comfortable on your feet for a full shift
- Reliable transportation
