Directly responsible for the brew and sale of coffee, baristas have the opportunity to share each coffee's unique story and flavor on behalf of growers and our coffee partners.

Baristas will come to work in a correct uniform, well-groomed, and are here to friendly and create a sense of warmth and hospitality for our guests. Our best baristas are fixtures of the neighborhood. Baristas should be able to recommend coffees based on guest preferences as well as their own favorites, and answer most questions about coffee. While reading and studying facts about coffee are important, there is a certain aspect of coffee knowledge that is only obtained by tasting different varieties or brews and noting the distinctions among them. Do this often, and even if a given coffee is not your favorite, seek positive ways to describe flavors. Our baristas are also selling a wide variety of our baked goods from cakes and cake balls, to croissants, to lemon bars and loaves of bread.

Through hard work and innovation by the principals and partners, the group either owns or manages 20 establishments since its inception. The founding of The Fifty/50 Restaurant Group was the result of the partnership between Scott Weiner and Greg Mohr, who became great friends and coworkers in 2003 when they began working together with Lettuce Entertain You. In 2007, as Chicago was about to implement a smoking ban in bars and restaurants, the duo recognized an opportunity to bring higher quality food and service into a sports bar environment. With the opening of The Fifty/50 in Wicker Park, they found themselves at the forefront of Chicago's growing restaurant and bar movement. Since then, they've invested in growing neighborhoods and communities across Chicago to become fixtures with unique concepts such as Roots Pizza and West Town Bakery. Along with the company's rapid growth, they've worked hard to build great company culture and infrastructure allowing them to maintain a high level of success and attention to detail. The Fifty/50 Restaurant Group has become one of Chicago's fastest growing restaurant groups due to their amazing people who go above and beyond as well as the hard working and dedicated partners who constantly push to be the best in their field. The group continues to focus on new restaurant concepts and locations within Chicago as well as other cities across the US.   EOE Statement It is the policy of the Fifty50 that an employee's religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, race, creed, color, age, marital or parental status, disability, or veteran's status will not influence hiring, promotion, pay, benefits, or any other term of condition of employment. / Es politica de Fifty50 no permitir que la religion, sexo, orientacion sexual, nacionalidad, raza, credo, color, edad, estado civil or condicion de padre de familia, incapacidad o condicion de veterano de guerra de un empleado influyan en la contractacion, promocion, paga, beneficios o cualesquiera otros terminos o condiciones del trabajo.   Shift Various Shifts   Location BHB Cafe Management LLC   This position is currently not accepting applications.
