Job Application - La Vita Espresso Catering & Barista Jobs in Minneapolis

Now Accepting Job Applications

Join our On-Call Event Crew!

We are always accepting applications for part-time, on-call servers and baristas to join our event team.

La Vita Espresso offers a unique work environment — no office, no dishwashing, no restocking. You’ll meet us on-site at each event, help with setup and teardown, serve great drinks, and then head out.

Reliable transportation is required. Most events are within the 5-county metro, but every job is at a different location. Occasionally, we serve events outside the area — in those cases, we’ll provide transportation to and from the site.

This is a part-time, on-call position — there are no guaranteed hours. Most shifts are around 4 hours long. Depending on the season, there may be many shifts available or very few. As long as you show up on time, you’re paid for a minimum of 4 hours.

Most shifts are scheduled with at least one to two weeks’ notice.

If you’re flexible, reliable, and looking for a fun, unique catering job where you’ll meet great people, visit amazing venues, and serve the best coffee, gelato, ice cream, and smoothies in town — we’d love to hear from you.

Use the secure form below to apply. We take your privacy seriously.
