Scope: Specialty Coffee Execution, Food Assembly, & FOH Operational Support
Locations: West Town & Wicker Park, Chicago
Requirement: Full open availability (weekends required; shifts start as early as 6:30 AM)
Prequel Cafe is a quality-driven operation built on clear systems, craft, and consistency. We run a structured, tight-knit environment where precise operational workflows allow our team to deliver exceptional quality efficiently.
We are seeking a reliable, detail-oriented professional to step into a key support role within our established system.
The Role
This position is designed to keep daily operations seamless, consistent, and well-supported across both coffee and kitchen functions. Rather than managing systems, you will execute clearly defined protocols with precision and discipline.
Bar Execution: Execute coffee service to exacting standards (dialing in, weighing shots, milk execution, batch brewing, and tea prep) within our established dialing and ratio systems.
Food & Pastry Assembly: Support the kitchen flow by executing prep, line assembly, and pastry handling to specification.
System & Facility Maintenance: Perform routine opening/closing checklists, continuous sanitation, station resets, and proactive restocking to maintain high operational flow.
Service Support: Maintain steady, professional front-of-house guest interactions and uphold room awareness during peak volume.
Candidate Profile & Qualifications
Experience & Skills: Background in specialty coffee or fast-paced food service required. Familiarity with modern point-of-sale systems (e.g., Square) and digital scheduling platforms (e.g., 7shifts) preferred.
Certifications: Current City of Chicago / Illinois Food Handler Certificate required upon hire (Food Sanitation Manager Certification is a plus).
System-Oriented: Thrives in structured environments with standardized recipes, defined checklists, and clear expectations.
Physical & Operational Demands: Able to work standing shifts up to 8 hours and routinely lift up to 40–50 lbs (milk boxes, batch coffee containers, dry goods) throughout a shift.
Reliable & Precise: Punctual, steady under pressure, and attentive to small operational details.
