About this role
Saxbys at Georgia State University is launching an entirely student-run cafe this fall, and they're hiring part-time team members to help build it. Starting at $13/hour, this role goes beyond typical barista work—you'll handle food and beverage production, engage directly with the campus community, and contribute to shaping how the cafe operates day-to-day. The position sits at the intersection of hospitality, operations, and peer leadership, with responsibilities ranging from guest service and menu knowledge to maintaining cafe cleanliness and supporting whatever tasks the student leadership team prioritizes.
The role suits someone with strong communication skills and a genuine interest in hospitality, though prior experience in food service or customer-facing work isn't required. You'll need to be reliable and punctual, comfortable standing and moving throughout shifts, and capable of handling the physical demands of cafe work—lifting up to 35 pounds, using stairs and ladders, and managing a fast-paced environment. The emphasis on self-leadership and initiative suggests Saxbys values team members who can think independently and take ownership of improving operations.
If you're a Georgia State student looking for flexible, on-campus work with real responsibility and the chance to be part of building something new on campus, this could be a strong fit. The role explicitly centers student empowerment and community impact, so it appeals most to people who connect with that mission beyond just earning an hourly wage.
