About this role
Saxbys operates a student-run cafe at Radford University, and this part-time position offers hands-on experience across food and beverage production, customer service, and community-focused hospitality. You'd work alongside fellow students in a fast-paced cafe environment, handling everything from menu knowledge and guest interactions to operational tasks like prep work and maintaining cleanliness. The role emphasizes both individual initiative and teamwork—you'll be expected to communicate openly, solve problems when they arise, and contribute to the cafe's culture of supporting the broader campus community.
The position requires strong communication skills and comfort with physical demands: standing for extended periods, lifting up to 35 pounds, and navigating stairs or ladders as needed. While prior hospitality or food and beverage experience is preferred, it's not required. Starting pay is $13 per hour, and the role is part-time with flexibility suited to a student schedule. This is a good fit if you're looking for campus-based work that goes beyond typical cafe duties—Saxbys frames the role as an opportunity to develop leadership skills and be part of a student-led business model rather than just taking orders and making drinks.
