JOIN OUR TEAM

Our People Are Everything.

We mean that. We believe 100%, that our coffee and products are second-to-none—but we acknowledge that the brown liquid in the cup can only ever be a fraction of the experience. In other words, the coffee may be why customers first find us—but the people they meet here, and the way they are treated—those are the reasons our customers come back.

We are ALWAYS looking for humble, kind, hardworking people—from any background under the sun—who want to build a career here. We are much more than a coffee shop—we are a small business. Our team—including our baristas—is involved with things that range far beyond making coffee and food—marketing, social media, photography, design, community outreach, event planning and management, cocktails, merchandising, coffee production, and operations management just to name a few. What we do is very difficult to be sure—but if you have the right attitude and truly want to work hard to build something special—we probably have a spot for you. And if we don’t today, there’s a good chance we will soon.

We are currently interviewing for the following positions (part time and/or full time):

We're not a typical restaurant. We're a family and employee owned and operated coffee company and cafe--so you'll have the opportunity to learn everything from coffee and cocktails to event planning, coffee production, merchandising, wholesale and small business management. We're a small company, so we all wear a lot of hats, and there will always be opportunity to grow.

Strip District Asst. Manager

Ensure customer experience is up to our standard of excellence across all aspects of experience (food/drink quality, customer interaction/communoication, cafe vibe and cleanliness).

You will be given PTO and opt-in benefits like a retirement savings plan, Direct Primary Care, yoga, tons of free drinks, free meals on shift, and deep discounts on everything we sell. This position starts at $14 an hour plus tips and our list of benefits listed below.

If you are kind, humble and willing to work extremely hard to build something great, please apply--and PLEASE INCLUDE A COVER LETTER telling us what type of exciting skill and energy you'll bring to our team, and why you'd love to play a major role in this next chapter for De Fer.

Barista/Cashiers

Part-time (Weekend) & Full-time

This job title really isn’t very accurate. We’re a small company, and EVERYONE wears tons of hats. Our baristas, are of course also cashiers. They also manage inventory, stock shelves, do dishes, take photos, invent recipes, make cocktails, haul stuff, create coffee recipes, run events, and solve problems too—though that is still just a fraction of what goes on during a typical shift. This position starts at $11 an hour plus tips and our list of benefits listed below.

There will also be opportunity in the future to grow beyond this position into general management, marketing, finance--whatever could interest you. We are not a coffee shop, we are a coffee company--and all the functions that exist at larger companies exist at De Fer, albeit on a smaller scale.

Cook/Baker:

Part-time Weekend Help!

We are looking for anyone who loves to make food. It doesn't matter if you consider yourself a cook, chef, baker or enthusiastic home cook--if you love food and people, we'd love to hear from you. 

We prepare simple, yet thoughtful café food out of top quality ingredients, often as-from-scratch as possible. We like to think of it as the food most of us would cook at home for our loved ones, if we had the time, space and ingredients. Actually, most of our menu DOES come from things we discovered at home. Experience is always nice, but if you’re a passionate and dedicated home cook—that’s good enough for us. That’s how nearly all of us started. :) This position starts at $12 an hour plus tips and our list of benefits listed below.

All positions offer PTO and opt-in benefits like a retirement savings plan, Direct Primary Care, yoga, tons of free drinks, free meals on shift, and deep discounts on everything we sell.

To apply, send a resume and cover letter telling us why you want to be a part of our team, and why you’d make a great fit. Send it to hiring@defer.coffee
