FT Barista | N.Y.C. | Prince St - Full-time

Chobani is a renowned food manufacturer known for its commitment to making high-quality and nutritious food accessible to a wide audience while positively impacting communities and promoting healthier lifestyles. Founded in 2005 by Hamdi Ulukaya, an immigrant who pursued a vision of better food for all, Chobani has grown to be America's leading yogurt brand, renowned for natural ingredients without artificial preservatives. Beyond yogurt, the company has expanded into oat milk and creamers, expanding its footprint in the food industry with an emphasis on wellness, quality, and philanthropy. With a clear mission that combines food innovation and social responsibility, Chobani has strategically acquired brands that share its core values. In 2023, Chobani acquired La Colombe, a premium coffee roaster known for craftsmanship and environmental consciousness. This acquisition expanded Chobani’s reach into specialty coffee with offerings such as cold-pressed espresso and lattes on tap at numerous cafes around the country, as well as Ready to Drink (RTD) coffee beverages available in retail outlets nationwide. Then in 2025, Chobani extended its health-conscious portfolio by acquiring Daily Harvest, a modern brand that provides nutritious, delicious, and convenient ready-to-make meals for busy consumers. Chobani’s philosophy goes beyond products; it involves using food as a force for good, prioritizing humanity in all its endeavors. The company operates manufacturing facilities across New York, Idaho, Michigan, and Australia with a distribution network spanning North America, Australia, and select markets globally.
