Job description

We’re seeking a knowledgeable, creative, and leadership-driven Beverage Director to oversee and elevate our entire beverage program. If you have a deep passion for cocktails, wine, beer, and service excellence—and know how to lead a team and create memorable guest experiences—we want you on our team.

Position Overview:

As the Beverage Director, you’ll be responsible for developing and managing our beverage offerings, from signature cocktails and curated wine lists to inventory control and staff training. You’ll work closely with the culinary and operations teams to ensure the beverage program aligns with our brand, enhances the guest experience, and drives profitability.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and maintain innovative, balanced beverage menus that complement the food program and reflect seasonal trends

• Oversee beverage purchasing, vendor relationships, pricing, and inventory management

• Ensure consistent beverage quality, presentation, and execution across all service periods

• Develop and lead staff training on cocktail recipes, wine/beer knowledge, and service standards

• Monitor and manage beverage costs, margins, and profitability targets

• Collaborate with marketing and management on promotions, events, and new product rollouts

• Ensure compliance with all alcohol service laws and safety protocols

• Provide hands-on support during service and step in as needed behind the bar

What We’re Looking For:

• Proven experience as a Beverage Director, Bar Manager, or Lead Bartender in a high-volume or upscale setting

• Strong knowledge of spirits, cocktails, wine, beer, and beverage industry trends

• Excellent leadership, communication, and training skills

• Solid understanding of inventory systems, costing, and vendor management

• Creativity and attention to detail in menu development and presentation

• Ability to balance operations, service, and team culture

• Certification in responsible alcohol service (e.g., TIPS, ServSafe Alcohol) preferred

Why You’ll Love Working Here:

• Creative freedom to shape an exciting and forward-thinking beverage program

• Competitive salary with bonus potential

• Opportunities for growth in multi-unit operations or corporate beverage leadership

• Collaborative team environment with strong culinary and service support

• Staff discounts, flexible scheduling, and industry perks

If you’re ready to lead with vision and bring excellence to every glass, apply today. Let’s raise the bar—together.
