About this role

Gopuff is seeking Operations Associates and Baristas to join our team in Richmond. This role blends operational excellence with food and beverage preparation to ensure customers receive accurate, high-quality orders every time. It combines inventory management with the craft of handcrafted Starbucks beverages.

No two days are the same—you may restock shelves, prepare food and drinks to spec, pack orders, or support inbound deliveries. You will prepare quality Starbucks beverages and food menu items by following recipes and production cards. Maintaining organization and cleanliness across the kitchen, café, and facility is key.

If you are detail-oriented, adaptable, and thrive in a fast-paced environment, this is the role for you. You will work behind the scenes monitoring temperature-sensitive items and managing waste through FIFO practices. Safety, accuracy, and quality are at the core of every shift.

You will complete required Starbucks training and uphold Gopuff and Starbucks safety, sanitation, and compliance standards. Your role directly supports our mission to deliver convenience in minutes. This position offers a chance to grow within a dynamic operations team.
