This hybrid role is ideal for a hospitality professional who has experience both on the floor and operations.

• Manage the Floor: Oversee daily operations to ensure everything runs smoothly, from coordinating the floor team to ensuring every guest has an unforgettable experience.

• Share Your Wine Knowledge: You’ll be the go-to expert for all things Italian wine—helping guests discover new favorites from Italy’s diverse wine regions and making thoughtful pairing recommendations.

• Create Memorable Experiences: Provide thoughtful and friendly service to guests, making sure they feel welcomed, informed, and well-cared for throughout their meal.

• Train & Inspire the Team: Share your wine knowledge with the team, helping everyone develop their skills and understanding of Italian wines. Lead by example in providing top-notch service.

• Passion for Italian Wine: You know Italy’s wine regions inside and out, from Tuscany to Sicily. You’re excited to share your knowledge with guests and the team.

• Experience as a Sommelier or Floor Manager: You’ve worked in a similar role before and have a track record of leading a team and providing excellent guest service.

• Wine Certification (Preferred): WSET Level 2 or 3, or something similar, would be a bonus, but more than anything, we’re looking for someone with a genuine love for Italian wines.

• Great Communication Skills: You can easily engage with guests, explain wine pairings, and support the team in creating a welcoming and friendly atmosphere.

• Leadership with a Smile: You’re a natural leader who can manage the floor while keeping things light, fun, and efficient. You know how to keep the team motivated, even when things get busy.

• A competitive salary.

• A fun, supportive team where your ideas and passion are welcomed.

• Opportunities to grow in a company that cares about your development and success.

• Discounts on dining and wine—because we want you to enjoy the best of what we offer!
