About Us:
The Beaudega is a proud local food, wine, and beauty retailer serving the Beaufort, NC community with quality products and friendly service. Our customers love us for our welcoming atmosphere and dedication to meeting their everyday needs. We value our team members and foster a supportive workplace where hard work and great attitudes are always recognized.

We're looking for someone with an interest in and ability to become an expert at talking about and selling our merchandise, including wine, food, locally-made art, clothing, beauty products, and more. Although prior experience is not required and we offer on-the-job training, the job itself requires that you have the ability and capacity to work independently on multiple tasks throughout the day. Oftentimes, you will be required to multitask. This could look like stocking the store, then jumping up to greet customers as they walk in, answering questions our customers have about products, and then politely transitioning to checking out customers at the other end of the store, then making your way back to answer more questions, then stocking the store again once the rush has ended. We often receive multiple orders in a day, and you will be responsible for receiving, pricing, and displaying these items. After initial training, you will be expected to complete tasks and procedures on your own. 

This job is NOT recommended for anyone who:

• Is uncomfortable with or unable to talk to people
• Is unwilling, uninterested, or unable to learn about merchandise, including wine and food
• Is uncomfortable with or unable to handle cash transactions or use an iPad as a Square POS system
• Is uncomfortable with or unable to receive feedback
• Is uncomfortable with or unable to use a ladder, bend down, carry boxes, and/or stand for multiple hours at a time without breaks
• Is uncomfortable with or unable to multitask or jump from one task to the next
• Is uncomfortable with or unable to adapt to change
• Is uncomfortable with swear words or innuendos 
• Is uncomfortable with or unable to work on their own after initial training

This is a part-time job opportunity located in downtown Beaufort, NC. We are looking for someone with availability to work:
Wed-Sat: 3pm-7:45pm
Sun: 10:45am-6:15pm

Applicants must be able to work weekends and non-major holidays.

Because we sell alcohol in-store, applicants MUST be 18 years of age or older.
