What are the responsibilities and job description for the Cafe Team Member/ Barista position at Zero Zero Two?
Zero Zero Two Pickleball Café — Fort Collins, CO
We’re looking for a reliable, upbeat, and creative barista/café team member to help build the café side of a growing pickleball and social club.
This is a flexible-hours part-time position with room to grow (20-30 hrs/week). The right person will not just be “making coffee and sandwiches” — they’ll help shape the guest experience, test new drink ideas, give input on menu items, and be part of a startup-style environment where good ideas can actually become real.
About the Role
You’ll work directly with café management to serve coffee, espresso drinks, smoothies, grab-and-go food, snacks, and other café items for members, guests, players, and event attendees. Since the café is part of a larger sports and social space, the pace and energy will vary throughout the day — from morning coffee rushes to afternoon snacks to evening events.
We’re looking for someone who is dependable, coachable, personable, and interested in helping create something better over time.
Responsibilities
Prepare espresso drinks, coffee, smoothies, teas, and other café beverages.
Serve guests with a friendly, professional, and relaxed attitude.
Handle basic food prep, grab-and-go items, and light kitchen/café tasks.
Maintain cleanliness and organization behind the counter.
Restock supplies and communicate when items are running low.
Operate the POS system accurately.
Help test and improve new drinks, snacks, and café offerings.
Support events, tournaments, and busy club periods as needed.
Work with management to improve service flow, presentation, and guest experience.
What We’re Looking For
Previous barista, café, restaurant, or customer service experience is strongly preferred.
A positive attitude and ability to interact comfortably with guests.
Reliability — showing up on time matters.
Willingness to learn espresso, smoothie, and café systems.
Ability to work independently during slower periods and move quickly during rushes.
Clean, organized work habits.
Interest in food, coffee, wellness drinks, or creative menu development is a plus.
Comfortable in a casual, active, community-focused environment.
Why This Could Be a Great Fit
Flexible scheduling.
Creative input on drinks, food, and café offerings.
Opportunity to grow with a newer café concept.
Fun, active workplace inside a pickleball/social club.
More variety than a standard coffee shop.
A chance to help build systems, not just follow them.
Ideal Candidate
The ideal person is someone who likes people, takes pride in small details, and wants to be part of something that is still being built. You don’t need to have every skill on day one, but you do need to care, communicate, stay organized, and bring good energy to the space.
Schedule
Flexible hours available. Morning, midday, evening, and weekend availability may all be useful depending on café needs, events, and club traffic.
Compensation
Competitive compensation. Hourly pay based on experience. Tips and growth opportunities are available depending on role structure and café performance.
Pay: $16.00 - $18.00 per hour
Benefits:
- Employee discount
- Flexible schedule
People with a criminal record are encouraged to apply
Work Location: In person
