Cashier / Stock / Barista at Aramark Destinations Mesa Verde
Imagine starting your morning pulling espresso shots with a backdrop of ancient Ancestral Pueblo cliff dwellings and sweeping Colorado canyon views. At Mesa Verde National Park, one of America's most breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Aramark is looking for energetic students to join their team as Cashier / Stock / Barista for an unforgettable seasonal adventure.
You'll work across retail and café operations — serving guests, handling cash, stocking shelves, and crafting a range of espresso-based drinks. Training is fully provided, so even if you're new to barista work, you'll be set up for success from day one. This is a fast-paced, people-focused role perfect for students who love the outdoors and thrive in a lively hospitality environment.
Beyond the paycheck, Aramark makes sure your time off is just as epic as your time on the clock — with employer-organised trips to go river rafting, horseback riding, steam engine railroad rides, bowling, and visits to Native American cultural sites.
