Description
Job Summary: Halls Chophouse is seeking a passionate, hospitality-minded Sommelier to join our team. If you are looking for a life-changing opportunity to elevate your career, this is your chance. We believe the experiences shared through a meal and a bottle of wine can linger with guests for a lifetime. As the Sommelier for Halls Chophouse, you will educate and empower our guests to navigate our wine list. Each region, varietal and vineyard will come alive through your knowledge and passion for wine.
Who You are:
  • A student of the vine- your extensive knowledge of wine continues to grow through rigorous studies. You believe that you never stop growing and learning-every detail matters. You are able to lead the guest beyond the bottle, explaining how the smell of the soil marries with the climate to create each note in the finished product.
  • A true believer in hospitality-you understand the difference between service and hospitality. Displaying one of our core values, your hospitality will welcome each individual into our restaurant for an experience unlike any other. You strive to make every guest feel at home, at the table and with the wines.
  • A self-leader-you understand leadership starts with yourself. As an ambassador for beverages, you lead yourself with honesty and integrity which translates to how you treat your coworkers and guests.
  • A versatile beverage aficionado-your beverage knowledge includes spirits, beer and cocktails. You understand why whiskey and bourbon are different as well as the origins and ingredients of classic cocktails.

What you'll get from us:
  • A healthy and safe work environment where you are encouraged to grow your career.
  • Comprehensive Medical, Dental and Vision available to all managers day 1 of employment. Our company pays up to 70% of your medical premium dependent on the plan you choose. We also offer legal and voluntary life insurance options.
  • Paid Time Off to support you with an active life outside of work after 6 months (1 week) and 2 weeks after 1 year.
  • 50% dining discount throughout the Hall Management Group of restaurants
  • Flexible Spending Account or Heath Spending Account depending on the plan you choose.
  • Company paid Employee Assistance Program to support overall mental wellbeing.
  • 401(k) to help you invest in your future after 6 months with a 4% company match.

Who we are: Hall Management Group operates notable restaurants in South Carolina and Tennessee including Halls Chophouse (Charleston, Greenville, Columbia, Nexton and Nashville), Halls Catch, Rita's at Folly Beach, High Cotton, S.N.O.B and Halls Signature Events.
Requirements
Skills and Qualifications:

  • Previous experience as a Sommelier, Wine Steward or Hospitality role
  • Good verbal and written communication skills
  • Adherence to alcohol handling laws and regulations
  • Interest in continuing education
  • Attention to detail
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment
  • Ability to work nights, weekends and holidays

Certification in the Court of Master Sommeliers is a plus. Proven, extensive knowledge of wine, beer and spirits is a must.
