Is Dutch Bros Hiring? How to Check Openings and Apply

Yes, in most markets. Dutch Bros is opening new shops faster than almost any other drive-thru chain in the country, which means most locations are hiring at least occasionally for Broistas (the company’s name for baristas), and steadily for Shift Leads and management as shops grow. Whether a specific stand near you has an open slot right now depends on that shop’s staffing at this moment, so the fastest way to know for sure is to check directly rather than guess from a search result.

This page gets you straight to that answer. If you want the fuller picture, including real pay ranges, the interview process, and how people move up from Broista to management, our complete Dutch Bros Careers guide covers all of that in depth. You can also visit our Dutch Bros Menu for the latest menu information.

Quick Answer

  • Minimum age: Most shops hire Broistas starting at 16, with a small number of locations allowing 15 depending on state law.
  • Experience needed: None. Dutch Bros trains all new hires from scratch.
  • Typical pay: Base wage plus tips, commonly landing in the high teens to mid-twenties per hour at busier shops once training is complete.
  • Where to apply: Directly through dutchbros.com/apply, the company’s official hiring portal.

How to Check If Your Local Dutch Bros Is Hiring

  1. Go to dutchbros.com/apply. Enter your city or zip code. This pulls live openings from every shop in your area, so it’s more current than a job board.
  2. Look at more than one nearby location. Staffing needs vary shop to shop, and applying to two or three locations near you improves your odds if one isn’t hiring this week.
  3. No listing near you? New shops post openings as they approach opening day, and existing shops post again as staff turn over, so it’s worth checking back every week or two if nothing shows up today.
  4. Prefer talking to someone in person? Visit the shop during a slower window and ask a Broista whether they’re hiring. Many locations also have a QR code for the application posted at the window.

Not Sure You’re Ready to Apply Yet?

If you still have questions about age requirements, what the job actually pays once tips are included, what the interview looks like, or how quickly people get promoted, the Dutch Bros Careers guide walks through all of it with sourced pay data and a full breakdown of every role from Broista to General Manager.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Prior coffee or food service experience isn’t required for Broista roles. New hires go through paid training on drink recipes, the register system, and customer service.

Check back regularly, since Dutch Bros shops turn over staff often and new shops are opening continuously. Applying to two or three shops in your area at once also improves your odds.
