Job Overview

About Our Store

Scooter’s Coffee at 30th & Ames is more than a traditional coffee shop. Located in the heart of North Omaha, our store is a community-focused location committed to providing excellent service while making a positive impact in the neighborhood we serve.

Our location features a large lobby and two community meeting rooms used by customers, organizations, entrepreneurs, and community groups. As one of Scooter’s largest locations, maintaining a clean, welcoming, professional, and efficiently operated store requires strong leadership on every shift.

We are looking for a dependable, hands-on leader who takes ownership of their shifts, maintains high standards, and knows how to lead a team in a fast-paced environment.

Position Overview

The Store Supervisor is responsible for leading the shift and ensuring the store operates according to Scooter’s standards and store policies when serving as the manager on duty.

This is a working leadership position. Supervisors perform barista responsibilities while also directing workflow, assigning responsibilities, maintaining service standards, addressing issues as they occur, and holding team members accountable for completing their responsibilities.

A successful supervisor does not simply identify problems—they take action to resolve them.

Shift Leadership & Accountability

  • Lead the team and direct workflow throughout the shift.
  • Clearly communicate expectations and assign responsibilities to team members.

  • Provide clear, professional coaching and feedback to team members.
  • Communicate significant employee or operational concerns to management.
  • Maintain a professional, productive, and respectful work environment.

  • Ensure the lobby, restrooms, barista stations, equipment, and other store areas are maintained throughout the shift.

Policies, Safety & Cash Handling

  • Demonstrate proper procedures and reinforce training during daily operations.
  • Identify opportunities for employees to improve and provide constructive coaching.
  • Help build a team culture centered around reliability, accountability, customer service, and teamwork.

What We're Looking For

  • Takes ownership. You treat the condition and performance of the store during your shift as your responsibility.
  • Leads from the front. You are willing to make drinks, clean, stock, serve customers, and work alongside your team.
  • Holds standards. You are comfortable addressing an issue instead of ignoring it or leaving it for another manager.
  • Pays attention to details. You notice when something isn't clean, stocked, completed, accurate, or operating correctly.
  • Communicates effectively. You can give clear direction and constructive feedback while remaining professional and respectful.
  • Works with urgency. You can prioritize and make decisions in a fast-paced environment.
