WHY WORK AT OAKBERRY SOHO
OAKBERRY is a boutique acai and smoothie brand built around culture, craft and community. When you join us at SoHo, you step into a high-energy environment where the guest experience is your stage, and your personality matters as much as your skills.
We believe in four things that shape everything we do:
Warmth - every guest should feel genuinely welcome, not just served.
Craft - quality and consistency are not optional. They are the standard.
Community - we build real connections across the bar, with guests and with each other.
Growth - every shift is a chance to learn something and get better.
This summer, as the World Cup and the US Open bring the world to New York, we are building the team that will represent OAKBERRY at its absolute best. This is your opportunity to show up, stand out and be part of something happening right now in the most exciting city in the world.
We are looking for people who are crazy about hospitality and consistency. We have clear guidelines and a defined standard for what the SoHo experience looks and feels like — and we want people who want to meet that energy, every single shift.
Reliable, professional, and genuinely proud of what they do. From your first day, you will be part of a team that supports each other, celebrates wins together, and pushes each other to grow. Over 90% of our leaders started behind the bar.
