About TempTamp:

TempTamp is a new company dedicated to providing excellent temporary barista service to NYC's coffee shops.

Hiring a TempTamp barista is cost effective for your business. We take care of paperwork, payroll duties, employment taxes, and training. Our baristas have worked in several cafes in New York and around the United States, and are certified to work as TempTamps.

TempTamp employees are comfortable with all major specialty coffee equipment, including, but not limited to, La Marzocco, Synesso, commercial grinders, Clover coffee brewers, Fetco. They are familiar with most major specialty roasters, and keep abreast of their current offerings.

We have a regular staff of temporary employees, who are available to work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you have gaps in your schedule, but don't want to hire and train a new barista, or if one of your baristas is sick or has an emergency, TempTamp will be there.

In addition, TempTamp is happy to assist with facilitating Barista Exchanges around New York City. Both employees will agree to work for a pre-determined time and pay rate, that will be provided by TempTamp. TempTamp will be responsible for each employee as they work at their host shops. If necessary, baristas will be tested prior to the exchange to determine their skill set. Owners will then pay TempTamp a small fee for its service.

This is a reliable and responsible way to facilitate an exciting opportunity for baristas. During exchanges, baristas will learn new skills and discover interesting ideas that previously were not thought of before. Cafes will have a unique opportunity to foster the growth of their employees as well as embrace the larger coffee community.
