BUILD YOUR CRAFT IN THE ROOM
We produce beverage experiences for brand activations, trade shows, and corporate programs nationwide. Two roles, both on-call, both behind the bar.
Careers
OPEN ROLES
Two roles, and both of them are behind the bar. We staff espresso bars, mobile bars, and beverage programs for clients including Google, Meta, Adobe, and American Express. Our national barista network is 2,300 strong.
Apply once, through one form. You stay in the pool and we reach out when a shift matches your availability.
On-call work is also the way onto ESOM Artists, our named roster. Artists are invited from the crew already working our rooms, and clients book them by name.
