Wine Team Member

Server / Wine Sales Associate — Preface Wine Bar, Delray Beach

About the role

Preface is a 28-seat wine bar and retail bottle shop, and this role lives in both worlds. One minute you're guiding a table through a flight, the next you're helping a customer pick out bottles to take home. You'll pour, sell, and talk wine all day — no wine encyclopedia required on day one, but genuine curiosity is.

What you'll do

• Deliver warm, knowledgeable service in an intimate 28-seat room
• Guide guests through our by-the-glass list, wine flights, and food menu (cheese and charcuterie boards, conservas)
• Assist retail customers with bottle selection and gifting
• Support daily operations: opening/closing duties, restocking, keeping the space guest-ready
• Participate in ongoing wine education and tastings with our Wine Director

What we're looking for

• 1+ years of restaurant, bar, or retail experience (wine experience a plus, not required)
• Genuine interest in wine and a desire to learn
• Warm, unpretentious hospitality style — we make wine approachable
• Reliability and ownership; we're a small team where everyone matters
• Available evenings and weekends;
  Tuesday–Sunday operation
• Ability to obtain responsible vendor training (we'll help)

What we offer

• Competitive hourly rate plus tips (pooled per shift, paid every payroll)
• Structured wine education — tastings, distributor visits, and mentorship from our Wine Director
• Employee discount on retail bottles
• Small, owner-operated team where your input shapes how we grow
• A brand-new space with great energy in downtown Delray
