About this role
Saxbys is a Philadelphia-based coffee company running student-led cafes on Drexel's campus, and this part-time role puts you at the center of that operation. You'll work in food and beverage production, guest engagement, and cafe operations at one of their locations in the LeBow or Health Science buildings. The work involves taking orders, preparing drinks and food, keeping the cafe clean and organized, solving customer issues when they arise, and collaborating with an all-student team that actually runs the business.
The role calls for strong communication skills and a willingness to learn a complex menu quickly. Prior hospitality or food service experience is preferred but not required, so this could work whether you're new to cafe work or already have some background. You'll need to be reliable, punctual, and comfortable with the physical demands of the job—standing for long shifts, lifting up to 35 pounds, and moving around a fast-paced environment. Starting pay is $13 per hour.
This is best suited for someone looking for flexible, on-campus work who values being part of a team with a community focus. Saxbys emphasizes student leadership and empowerment, so you'd be working alongside peers rather than in a traditional corporate structure.
