Starbucks Resume: Applying for a Barista Role in the US

• Shift availability – opening, mid or closing, plus weekends. Stores are built around it.
• Customer interaction – any face-to-face service, including volunteering and campus work.
• Speed with accuracy – cash handling, order accuracy, cleaning routines.
• Staying power – tenure in previous roles, because training a barista costs weeks.

Contact details with city and state; a two-line summary naming the role and availability; experience in reverse-chronological order with two or three bullets each; skills covering POS, cash handling, food safety, espresso equipment and languages; two references with phone numbers. No photo, no date of birth.

• Served 250+ customers per shift during morning peaks while maintaining order accuracy above 98%.
• Balanced a register averaging $1,200 per shift with no discrepancies.
• Trained three new team members on drink preparation and cleaning routines.
• Managed milk and pastry stock rotation, reducing daily waste during a summer promotion.

Words like friendly and passionate carry no weight. What changed because you were on shift is the evidence.

List school, sport, volunteering and any cash-handling or rostering responsibility – a club treasurer role is relevant. Keep the resume to one page and add a short line about the shifts you can commit to for at least six months; reliability is the attribute that gets a first-time applicant hired.
