Now accepting job applications

Are you interested in working with us?

We are always accepting applications for part-time, on-call servers and baristas. Depending on your qualifications, starting pay is a minimum of $15/hour.

La Vita Espresso offers a unique work environment with no office! All of our servers meet us at our customer’s location and help us set up, serve and tear down the event. Nearly all shifts are about 4 hours in length and depending on the time of year, there might be many shifts available or very few. We highly recommend you have reliable transportation as most events are within the 5-county metropolitan area and every job is at a new location. Occasionally, some jobs require travel outside this area. For events like this, we will offer transportation to and from these job sites.

Servers accepting a part-time, on-call position have no guaranteed work hours. Some months will be very busy and some will be very quiet. The majority of available shifts have at least one or two weeks notice so if you are flexible with your availability, are looking for a unique catering job where you get to meet great and unique customers, see amazing venues and job sites and serve some of the best coffee, gelato, ice cream and smoothies in town – apply today!

Please use the job application form below to apply for a barista job. Our website is hosted on a secure server so your information is safe!
