How scheduling works

As flexible as you want it to be

You are in control of how much you work. Here is how it goes.

01

Get the app

Once you are hired, open shifts show up right on your phone.

02

Claim what you want

Pick up as many or as few shifts as you like, whenever you like.

03

Or go permanent

Prefer a routine? Request set days and we lock them in for you.

Hourly pay plus tips on every shift, and we train baristas from scratch, with no experience needed.

Life on the crew

Real hospitality, real craft

We are a small, tight-knit team that takes pride in the details, from a clean pour to a warm welcome. The drinks matter, but the conversation matters just as much: the guests you greet, the regulars you remember, the small moments that make someone's day. You will learn the espresso bar, the carts and the trailer alongside people who genuinely enjoy the work.

Bring the good energy and a love of people. We will handle the training.

Apply

Tell us about yourself

Fill out the short form below and we will be in touch. It only takes a few minutes.

You must be at least 16 years old to join the crew.

Can you drive yourself to and from shifts? *

Our shifts move around Middle Tennessee, so crew need a valid driver license and a reliable way to get to the cafe or the event and back.

Where are you willing to work? *

Check every area that works for you.

Which role(s) are you interested in? *

A big part of this role is warm, easy conversation with guests, not just great drinks. Tell us how you like to connect with people, or a time you made someone's day.

We hire for hospitality first. The craft we can teach.

Which days and times generally work for you? Are you looking for flexible pick-up shifts, permanent days, or weekend events only?

A rough idea is fine. You will set your real schedule in the app once hired.

How long are you hoping to be with us? *

There is no wrong answer here, and it will not count against you. A season of help is genuinely useful to us; knowing up front just means we plan the schedule around what you actually want.

Online profiles (optional)

Only if you want to. A profile can tell us more about you than a form ever will, and nothing here is required.

One per line. A portfolio, a coffee account, a personal site. For example, https://instagram.com/yourhandle or https://yourname.com

Paste full links starting with https:// so they open properly.

PDF, Word document, or a clear photo, up to 8 MB. Skip it if you do not have one; we read every application either way.

By submitting, you confirm the information above is accurate. Baristas must be at least 16, and bartenders at least 18. The Steel Pony is an equal opportunity employer.
