Distillery Care & Operations: Execute opening and closing procedures, restock inventory, track supply levels, and maintain a clean, organized, and inviting space.
Teamwork: Work seamlessly with fellow team members to ensure smooth daily operations, even during high-volume peak hours.
What We Are Looking For
Age Requirement: Must be 21 years of age or older.
Experience: Background in customer service, retail, bartending, or tasting room operations is helpful (but a great attitude and willingness to learn go a long way!).
Bourbon & Cocktail Skills: Enthusiasm for craft spirits, basic cocktail-making ability, and a drive to continually expand your knowledge.
Work Ethic & Professionalism: Punctual, organized, detail-oriented, and able to work independently with minimal supervision.
Composure: Cool, calm, and friendly under pressure or during busy weekend rushes.
Physical Requirements: Ability to lift up to 50 lbs regularly and remain on your feet during shifts.
