Food and Beverage Services
Responsibilities
Build community, inside and out. Don’t wait for customers to walk through the door—find them, invite them, and welcome them. Whether it’s collaborating with a local pop-up, connecting with a neighbor, or sparking a conversation at the bar, you help turn strangers into regulars
Go beyond customer service. Know names, stories, preferences. Anticipate needs. Make every guest feel like the most important person in the room
Be detail-obsessed and proactive. There’s always glassware to polish, inventory to tidy, displays to refresh, and opportunities to elevate the guest experience. If something needs doing, you’re on it—before being asked
Drive sales with genuine excitement. Guide guests through our selections, recommend the right bottle, help them join the wine club and promote our ticketed events
Contribute everywhere. You’ll share responsibility in everything from cleaning the floors to prepping food, restocking shelves, packing online orders, handling guest emails, and pitching in on social and newsletter content. DECANT is a team sport
Set the tone. You help create a space that’s organized, joyful, and always ready—no matter how busy the shift
