Company Description

Pax & Beneficia is a specialty coffee brand based in Dallas–Fort Worth, with 8 cafe locations (a 9th opening soon), an in-house syrup line, catering, and e-commerce. We're building something rooted in the connecting people through our offerings, where excellence in coffee is the foundation for meaningful experiences. As we continue to grow, we're looking for operators who care as much about the details as they do about the people behind them.

Role Description

Reporting to the Head of Operations, you'll oversee the day-to-day systems that keep our cafes running — logistics, inventory, supply chain, quality, and team performance — while partnering with store-level leadership to drive continuous improvement.
