Barista

We’re building Chicago’s new home for soccer fans.

Soccer House is a purpose-built clubhouse for the game, designed to give fans the best way to watch, follow, and celebrate the game. From early-morning kickoffs to late winners, clásicos to cup finals, midweek fixtures, red cards, and cold rainy nights in Stoke, this is a place made to live with the full rhythm of the sport.

The Barista is responsible for delivering fast, precise, and welcoming café service during all morning and daytime hours. This role requires attention to detail, strong hospitality instincts, and the ability to work efficiently during peak service periods while maintaining a calm, professional demeanor.

Baristas help set the tone for the day at Soccer House and are often the first point of contact for guests.
