From the very beginning, we’ve set out to add a spark to ordinary experiences through elevated products, attention-to-detail, and a commitment to making every moment memorable. We’re motivated by the millions of customers we serve across cities, and know that our potential is unlimited. It all starts with our people and their commitment to make magic happen each and every day.\nABOUT THE ROLE\nAs a Shift Lead, you’ll play a key role in bringing our mission to life. You’ll lead by example on the floor, ensure smooth operations during your shift, and create an environment where both customers and Baristas feel valued. This is a hands-on leadership role where you will work closely with your manager to set the store and team up for success. You’ll thrive in this role if you enjoy fast-paced environments, connecting with people, motivating your team, and delivering great hospitality.\nWHAT YOU’LL OWN\n1. Be our Ultimate Product Master\nExplain our menu: Talk customers through our classics, signatures and limited-time drinks and guide them to the right one. That means you are required to showcase product knowledge at all times.\nSet the bar for every drink: Serve drinks perfectly to our recipe and preparation standards. That means you are a role model to your peers on the floor.\nCoach your peers: Coach Baristas on recipes, technique and the latte art heart behind the bar, so every drink on your shift hits the standard.\n2. Run the Shift\n Open and close the store: Open and close the store on your own (including required checklists and procedures), and run the store whenever your GM is not in.\n Prepare the shift: Batch ingredients (matcha and syrups), stock required quantities (milk, ice and front of house storage), and keep the counter clutter-free before every shift.\nKeep the line moving at peak: Run the shift plan your GM sets, spot bottlenecks before they build, and work around any issues and stockouts in the moment. That means you own speed of service on your shift.\n Manage inventory and waste on your shift: Receive and organize stock, support your GM on ordering and counts (and own them in your GM’s absence), and keep waste down by batching to demand (e.g., no large matcha batch an hour before close).\n3. Lead the Customer Experience\nSet the tone on the floor: Greet every customer, serve every order with a personal touch, and keep service warm through every peak, so the team follows your lead.\nResolve customer issues: Handle customer issues on the spot with care, and escalate to your GM as needed.\n4. Keep the Store Sharp\nHold the standards on shift: Walk the floor and back of house against the cleanliness and presentation standards your GM sets, and fix anything that slips, including giving your peers feedback in the moment.\nRun daily checks & troubleshoot: Complete safety and cleaning checklists every shift, troubleshoot equipment where required, and escalate unresolved issues to your GM.\n5. Lift your Team\nTrain new hires: Execute the onboarding plan set by your GM and train new hires on a day-to-day at every station during your shift.\n Be a support pillar: Bring positive energy and teamwork mentality to every shift, actively support your peers (including in the moment feedback), and serve as the go-to point of contact when your GM is away.\nWHO YOU ARE\nYour Experience:At least 1 year of experience in a customer service leadership position (e.g. Shift Leader, Shift Supervisor, Key Holder), preferably in hospitality, coffee, or beverage\n\nYour Skills:People leader: You confidently guide and motivate your team, set a high standard through your own actions, and step in to support others when needed.\nPassionate about hospitality: You love creating exceptional customer and employee experiences, and care about setting the bar high in every shift you’ve run.\nTeam player: You are comfortable working in a team, communicate clearly, support the people around you, and contribute to a positive team environment.\nReliable in a fast-paced environment: You are able to stay calm, focused, and effectively manage time and priorities, including during busy rush periods where a sense of urgency is necessary.\nDetail-oriented: You notice the small things and take pride in maintaining highest standards across presentation, compliance, and cleanliness.\nEager to learn: You are curious, adaptable and always willing to learn about our products and operating procedures.\n\nREQUIREMENTS\n18+ years of age\nAble to lift 25+ lbs, and to stand for long periods of time\nYou must be authorized to work in the U.S.: upon acceptance of a job offer and completion of the Form I-9 with acceptable documents, Blank Street will provide the federal government with employees’ Form I-9 information to confirm authorization to work in the U.S. (a process known as ”E-Verify”)\nAvailability that meets the needs of our storesFull Time: 30-40 hours per week, 4-5 days per week and must be able to work 2 peak days (peak days: Friday, Saturday, Sunday)\nWeekend and holiday availability required\n\nBENEFITS & PERKS\n$19.50 - $21.00/hour plus tips\nA comprehensive Barista accreditation and training program\nTenure based paid time off\nCommuter benefits\nSick time\n1.5x pay on select holidays\nComplimentary coffee and treats on shift\nFree Blank Street swag\nThis job description is intended to describe the general nature and level of work performed in this role.
