Read this far? You're already ahead.
We're looking for someone detail-oriented, curious, and genuinely excited about learning the ins and outs of running a business, not someone just chasing a paycheck or hitting every "Apply" button they see.

If you're serious, send us a short email (info@beansproutcoffee.com) about why this stood out to you. Don’t skip this step—if you did, you’re probably not the right fit.

This role pays well because we expect effort, creativity, and follow-through, not perfection, but hunger to grow.
