The coffee is calling - why now is the perfect time to get back in the barista saddle
It’s been a tough few years for the hospitality industry; with the uncertainty of lockdowns, a lot of baristas have been looking for work elsewhere. But as we move further into 2022, quality cafe staff are in (very) high demand.
Maybe you’ve been scrolling through our job board recently, or refreshing that “barista jobs near me” search and missing the excitement, fast pace, and social interaction that being a barista provides. Now is the perfect time to get back into it! And if you sign up to be a freelance barista with Need a Barista, we make the transition back into the industry that much easier.
Why sign up?
Work as much or as little as you want, wherever you want
When you log in to your barista account, you can access available shifts in your area - no more scrolling through pages of shifts that don’t apply to you. We have last minute one-off shifts as well as more permanent full-time gigs, so you can pick the shifts that suit your schedule. Or, to save you the hassle of looking, as an approved barista-partner you can choose to receive alerts via SMS or email when new shifts are available in your area.
Secure pay and a great rate
As a barista on our platform you get paid directly into your account with our secure Barista Pay system. No more filling in new financial paperwork at every freelance gig - just fill in your details with us and we take care of the rest. We have partnered with Stripe to ensure all your details and payment are private, safe and secure.
Once you’ve completed a shift, the cafe owner will have 24h to finalise details around total hours worked, breaks, tips etc. Once the shift is finalised, the payment goes directly to your bank account. If the shift hasn’t been finalised within 24h, your payment will be automatically processed based on the hours booked.
Joining a passionate and growing community
Need a Barista is the coffee industry’s #1 freelancer platform, and we’ve covered 15,000+ shifts. Because we pre-vet our baristas, the Need a Barista community is full of passionate and highly skilled individuals which allows you to make industry connections and upskill, while scoring new interesting gigs.
