About this role
Saxbys' cafe at Saint Joseph's University is looking for team members to work in a student-run coffee operation on campus. You'd handle the core responsibilities of cafe work—taking orders, preparing food and beverages, keeping the space clean and organized, and engaging with student guests—but with a deliberate focus on community and peer leadership. The role emphasizes hospitality and problem-solving, and you'd be working alongside other students to run what Saxbys frames as a business with a social mission.
The job requires strong communication skills and comfort in a fast-paced service environment. Previous hospitality or food and beverage experience is preferred but not required, which makes it accessible to people new to cafe work. You'll need to be reliable, physically capable of standing for long shifts and handling up to 35 pounds, and willing to take initiative in a team setting. Starting pay is $13 per hour.
This role would suit someone already at Saint Joseph's who wants flexible, on-campus work with genuine responsibility—not just a job, but a chance to help shape how the cafe operates and serves the university community.
