  •  Monitor cleanliness, organization, and overall presentation of the winery 
  •  Help uphold service standards and reinforce training expectations 
What We’re Looking For
  •  Previous experience in hospitality or a leadership role preferred 
  •  Strong communication and decision-making skills 
  •  Ability to stay calm, confident, and solutions-focused in a fast-paced environment 
  •  Natural leadership presence—team members look to you for direction 
  •  Strong understanding of guest experience and service flow 
  •  Flexible, team-first mindset with willingness to jump in anywhere 
  •  Availability on weekends and holidays 
Why You’ll Love It Here
  •  A dynamic, fast-paced winery environment 
  •  Opportunity to grow into higher leadership roles 
  •  A collaborative team culture that values strong leadership 
  •  The ability to make a direct impact on both guest and team experience 
Compensation
$14/hour base pay + tips
