We are seeking someone who is self-driven, detail-oriented, trustworthy, and is skilled at crafting drinks. This job is for Fridays and Saturdays with the option to occasionally sub on Thursdays/Sundays. Shifts are from 10:30-2:30pm and we are offering $20-25/hour, depending on experience. If desired, we can offer more hours for the right fit. The wage offered is tip inclusive and we will give preference to individuals with barista and customer service experience.

Drifter Ferments sells house made fermented food products alongside retail items from other Hudson Valley purveyors. We also have a food and drink menu that highlights our products, locally roasted coffee, and other thoughtfully sourced ingredients. You’ll be making fresh-whisked matcha, a variety of chai’s, pulling espresso shots, serving our house kombucha, making pour overs, and more.
We are located in the Village of Warwick, and besides having a local community of loyal customers, we benefit from being a tourist hub with bustling pedestrian traffic through the spring, fall and holidays.
Our regulars appreciate us for consistency and quality in everything we offer, so we are seeking someone who can deliver the same.
