ProPour for Chicago hospitality

Own your shift in Chicago.

Join a controlled founding network of bartenders and venues testing a better way to establish trust, fill shifts, secure pay, and build a reputation that travels.

Pilot admission is reviewed. Creating an account does not guarantee acceptance or shift availability.

A real marketplace, launched responsibly

One city. One verified cohort. The full shift loop.

The Chicago pilot is designed to test the complete ProPour workflow with real local participants—not a public job board filled with unverified listings.

01

Request a pilot place

Create your professional profile or venue account and choose the city where you actually work.

02

Complete readiness review

Bartenders submit responsible-service proof. Venues complete the operating and safety checklist.

03

Work inside the cohort

Approved participants can post, discover, apply for, fund, complete, and review local pilot shifts.

For bartenders

Bring proof. Build portable trust.

Approved bartenders get local shift discovery, a professional profile, pilot eligibility signals, verified-shift reviews, earnings tools, Academy access, and the ProPour shift workflow.

Pilot credential: Illinois BASSET

ProPour requires a current Illinois BASSET card before a bartender can accept Chicago pilot shifts. Upload proof privately for review inside the app.

  • BASSET and responsible-service policy attestation
  • Local eligible-talent discovery
  • Secured shift funding and documented payout flow
