Got a question?

Need a Barista specialises in providing highly trained and experienced baristas to coffee shops across the USA, to cover those gaps in your roster when you don't want to hire a permanent new worker. 

We've covered over 18,000 on-demand barista shifts, so you can book with confidence to cover anything from a few hours, to weeks at a time. Only our pre-vetted and checked baristas can pick up your on-demand shift bookings, and you'll usually have a confirmation of your booking within hours.

When you book, you'll see the hourly rate you'll be paying the barista for that shift, before you confirm.

We enforce minimum hourly rates, depending on the shift being a weekday or weekend/Holiday, to ensure baristas are paid a fair working wage. 

Platform fee. 

We charge a flat 20% (of the total shift value) platform fee to cover our running costs and insurance. This fee is refunded in full if your shift isn't picked up by a barista.

Our on-demand platform isn't for hiring permanent staff, it's to book one of our pre-vetted baristas to cover a shift (or 5). 

If you need to hire an awesome new worker permanently, you can place an ad on our Job Board. Our Job Board is public, and is the perfect place to advertise your new permanent/on-going positions.

We check and vette every single barista we allow onto our platform. So, you know they've got years of real experience behind the machine. 

More importantly, cafes leave feedback on the barista after every single shift. When a barista picks up your shift, you'll see their profile, including how many shifts they've completed, and what their average score is. Easy.

As soon as you submit your booking, it goes live in front of the approved baristas on our platform.

You’ll receive a confirmation email when a barista accepts your shift(s), so be sure to check your inbox.  You can keep an eye on status of your booking in your account dashboard too.

• Your booking will be live until the day of the shift, or until you cancel it. 

• If you find that you no longer need a barista, please cancel your shift. A barista may pick up your shift at the last minute. 

• You can also edit the shift details* by going to your account dashboard.

*(hourly rates cannot be edited after a barista has accepted your booking)
