    Halls Chophouse is seeking a passionate, hospitality-minded Sommelier/Manager to join our team. If you are looking for a life-changing opportunity to elevate your career, this is your chance. You will be on the front lines as one of the nation’s best restaurant companies, voted #3 Overall Restaurant and #1 Brunch in America by Trip Advisor. 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 Greenville, 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.

    Job Description: We are looking for leaders who can promote encouragement and staff progression in a professional and positive culture. We are not looking for people who are angry or dispirited. We are seeking candidates who choose high standards as a personal and professional way to grow in their career and life. You must be passionate about training and leading a staff to create outstanding food.

    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.
