About this role
Saxbys, a Philadelphia-based coffee company, is opening a cafe on Fairmont State University's campus and hiring part-time team members at $13/hr. This role goes beyond standard barista work—you'll handle food and beverage production, engage directly with student guests, manage the cafe's day-to-day operations, and contribute to building a community-focused space. The position emphasizes hospitality, operational efficiency, and self-leadership, with an expectation that you'll take initiative to improve both the cafe experience and campus culture.
The ideal candidate has strong communication skills and ideally some background in hospitality or food service, though neither is required. You'll need to stand for extended periods, handle physical tasks like lifting up to 35 lbs and using stairs or ladders, and maintain composure in a fast-paced environment. This is a student-run operation, so you'll be working alongside peers and reporting to student leadership, which means the role offers both flexibility and genuine responsibility in shaping how the cafe serves your university community.
