BlankStreet Shift Lead at BlankStreet responsible for leading floor operations and ensuring smooth shift execution. Key duties include coaching Baristas, managing inventory, and maintaining customer experience.
Responsibilities
As a Shift Lead, you’ll play a key role in bringing our mission to life. You’ll lead by example on the floor, ensure smooth operations during your shift, and create an environment where both customers and Baristas feel valued. This is a hands-on leadership role where you will work closely with your manager to set the store and team up for success. You’ll thrive in this role if you enjoy fast-paced environments, connecting with people, motivating your team, and delivering great hospitality.
Be our Ultimate Product Master
Explain our menu: Talk customers through our classics, signatures and limited-time drinks and guide them to the right one. That means you are required to showcase product knowledge at all times.
Set the bar for every drink: Serve drinks perfectly to our recipe and preparation standards. That means you are a role model to your peers on the floor.
Coach your peers: Coach Baristas on recipes, technique and the latte art heart behind the bar, so every drink on your shift hits the standard.
Run the Shift
Open and close the store: Open and close the store on your own (including required checklists and procedures), and run the store whenever your GM is not in.
Prepare the shift: Batch ingredients (matcha and syrups), stock required quantities (milk, ice and front of house storage), and keep the counter clutter-free before every shift.
Keep the line moving at peak: Run the shift plan your GM sets, spot bottlenecks before they build, and work around any issues and stockouts in the moment. That means you own speed of service on your shift.
Manage inventory and waste on your shift: Receive and organize stock, support your GM on ordering and counts (and own them in your GM’s absence), and keep waste down by batching to demand (e.g., no large matcha batch an hour before close).
Lead the Customer Experience
Set the tone on the floor: Greet every customer, serve every order with a personal touch, and keep service warm through every peak, so the team follows your lead.
