This role is designed to enhance the efficiency, profitability, and preparation of the wine program by focusing on administrative tasks, cost tracking, inventory maintenance, and staff education support. The Wine Admin responsibilities are fulfilled by our Wine Steward / Sommelier during non-service hours, focusing on administrative tasks that support the success of the wine program. During guest-facing hours, the same individual resumes their primary role leading wine service, sales, and hospitality on the floor while under management by the General Manager.

Primary Responsibilities :

  • Wine List & POS Management
  • Maintain and update printed and digital wine menus to reflect current inventory, vintages, and pricing
  • Ensure POS system (OnePOS) and internal documents are aligned with wine program offerings
  • Coordinate with GM and leadership to publish menu updates in a timely manner

Inventory & Cost Controls :

  • Track wine purchases and update product costing sheets to support accurate COGS reporting
  • Assist with weekly wine counts, reconcile variances, and prepare data for period-end inventory review
  • Maintain documentation for vendor samples, donation requests, and new product evaluations
  • Staff Education & Training Materials
  • Create and maintain educational materials for the FOH team, including wine one-sheets, tasting notes, and pairing guides
  • Support the implementation of wine tastings and training sessions as directed by the GM or Wine Steward
  • Track and log wine knowledge exam results and training progress
  • Program Development & Support
  • Assist in evaluating new wines and propose additions or modifications to the list based on profitability, seasonality, and guest appeal
  • Provide administrative support to ensure the wine steward is fully prepared for each service
  • Collaborate with the Executive Chef and GM to align pairings and storytelling for wine features
  • Qualifications :

  • Foundational knowledge of wine, with preference for WSET Level 2 or equivalent experience
  • Proficiency in spreadsheet management (Google Sheets or Excel) and general comfort with POS systems
  • Highly organized with strong attention to detail and a proactive work style
  • Ability to lift and move up to 40 pounds and work in cellar conditions (approx. 55°F)
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills
  • Alignment with Amelia Gene's core values and hospitality standards
  • Working Conditions :

    This is an administrative, non-tipped position intended for off-floor hours. Work will primarily be conducted during daytime hours when the restaurant is closed to the public. Schedule is flexible but will follow operational needs, particularly around inventory and menu changes. The role is designed to complement the service-based responsibilities of the Wine Steward, with a different hourly pay structure reflecting the nature of the administrative work.
