The position requires a working knowledge (or strong interest in learning) of wine, spirits, and food pairings, along with the ability to move confidently through a structured service while staying warm and present with guests. Expect a collaborative team environment, high standards, and the opportunity to deepen your knowledge and grow within the program. Compensation is competitive, with consistent volume and strong earning potential. Nights and weekends required. Please reach out with a resume and a brief note about your experience and interests.
