ES Hospitality

Wine Director, Eastern Standard Kitchen and Drinks

The Bower plaza in the Fenway is home to three concepts from ES Hospitality - Eastern Standard, reopened after 15 years in Kenmore Square, Equal Measure, a craft cocktail bar, and Standard Italian, a modern Italian restaurant. These concepts, helmed by Garrett Harker, serve brunch, lunch, dinner, and late-night drinks to neighborhood visitors, BU students and faculty, residents, and restaurant industry professionals alike.

The Wine Director is responsible for overseeing and managing the wine programs across the full-service concepts of Eastern Standard Kitchen and Drinks and Standard Italian. As Wine Director, you will be responsible for developing, implementing and guiding the wine program in close collaboration with the group’s Beverage Director and Front of House Management team. You will also participate in daily front of house floor management, mentoring staff and helping to ensure not only the success of the wine programs but of the restaurants as a whole. This is a role for a candidate who leads by example, seeks input and takes big risks.

Compensation Range: $80,000-$100,000/year + bonus opportunity

Core Responsibilities:

  • Oversee and manage the wine programs at Eastern Standard and Standard Italian

  • Implement and maintain strong staff wine education initiatives
  • Manage all wine tech sheets and wine education materials
  • Impact guest experience as an effective and dynamic restaurant manager during service, advocating for service excellence
  • Identify opportunities to coach staff during floor shifts
  • Build relationships with wine regulars
  • Nurture strong supplier relationships through wine tastings with local and regional wine sales representatives
  • Attend off site beverage events and tastings
  • Generate weekly beverage orders for wine
  • Manage monthly wine inventory, reaching for set cost of goods and total inventory value
  • Contribute to the growth of beverage culture across the collection of restaurants and liaise with respective beverage personalities across our sibling restaurants
  • Support all private event and special event beverage needs

Qualifications:

  • 3-5+ years experience in hospitality with a focus in wine and beverage management, ideally in a multi-concept setting
  • Superior wine knowledge and the ability to develop and implement multiple wine programs across multiple restaurant concepts
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills and ability to create and implement wine education programs with a focus on product knowledge and sales technique across all staff
  • Experienced in performing monthly wine and beverage inventory
  • Able to multitask, adapt as needed, and work well under pressure

Who You Are:

  • Self-motivated and confident, with the ability to work well with diverse teams across multiple concepts
  • Excited to be joining a vibrant, growing community of 3 closely-associated restaurants each with a unique wine program
  • Just as comfortable with your nose in a wine book as you are tableside with guests
  • A team player, ready and eager to pitch in as needed to ensure not only the success of the wine programs but of the restaurants as a whole

Compensation and Benefits:

We offer a competitive salary (based on experience), health/dental/vision insurance, paid time off plan, dining discounts, 401k and continuous development and learning opportunities.
