About the Role
We're hiring a Facilities Coordinator to help keep our cafés running smoothly, safely, and guest-ready across multiple locations.

Meet vendors on site, communicate scope of work, and support pricing decisions with the office
-
Transport parts, supplies, and equipment between locations as needed

-
Covers current and future locations across Lafayette, Youngsville, Broussard, Carencro, New Iberia, Lake Charles, and Gonzales

Annual performance reviews
Tropical Smoothie was born on a beach. There was no art on the walls, because we had no walls. The view was all the art we needed. That first blender was almost as loud as the surf. Fresh fruit came in by the basket, strapped to the front of our cruiser bicycles. Between volleyball games, walks in the sand and dips in the water – they lined up. And the smoothies poured out. We learned a lot on that beach. Most of all, we learned a better way to live. Take things easy, soak up the sunshine and be who you are. We learned the need to a getaway is not a once-a-year-thing – it’s an everyday thing. If we can inspire people to eat better and live better, if we can help the whole world feel a little more like that beach, then we will have done something pretty rad. That’s the idea. That’s Tropical Smoothie Café.
