It was a nice interview with basic questions, I'd suggest this to anyone needing entry-level experience. The interviewer was from the continent and knew their stuff. They didn't mind that I didn't have prior barista experience, and they went over the schedule and pay.

it was super chill, just be yourself and know your coffee. They like it if you have experience, but they are also open to new people who want to learn how to brew without having to change any old habits.

The pay was less than other coffee chains, and the benefits and overall corporate experience were worse. It was much better to work at Dutch Bros or Starbucks. It was not a good job. The pay structure was also problematic, as a portion of our tips was taken to make up the difference to minimum wage. Minimum wage was $12/hr, but they only paid $9/hr, with the remaining $3/hr coming out of our tips. It was disgusting.

Got a rundown of the business and its different locations. Pretty simple interview, they laid out what they expect, the pay, and the hours. The business itself was explained clearly. It was a very direct interview.
