Sommelier

We are hiring a Sommelier at BRUTØ.

Brutalism is a design language, but it's also our approach to hospitality: strip away the unnecessary, honor the materials, and let intention speak louder than ornament. Our wine program follows the same ethos. We highlight producers with clarity of purpose, transparent farming, and wines that carry an honest sense of place.

We're looking for someone who can help us share those stories with our guests and who wants to be part of a team that works as one. At BRUTØ, wine leads are embedded in every part of service: running food, greeting guests, assisting with pairings, supporting the bar, and being part of the rhythm of the room.

If you're a thoughtful communicator, energized by collaboration, and excited by a program driven by impact, we'd love to meet you.

The ideal candidates fit the following criteria:

• Knowledgeable and passionate about wine and beverage trends, wine and beverage pairing, and people
• Excellent understanding of hospitality etiquette
• Ability to understand and execute the proper steps of service
• Excellent organization and planning skills
• Excellent time management skills and the ability to prioritize tasks
• Flexibility and willingness to adapt to fast-paced environments
• Strong attention to detail
• Excellent communication skills
• Ability to stand on your feet for long periods of time and lift 50 lbs
• Availability to work nights and weekends
• 3 years sommelier experience

Brutø offers:

• Competitive pay structure with service fee share.
• Health, vision, and dental insurance for all full-time employees (30 hours per week).
• Retirement planning program with a company-matching contribution.
• Flexible scheduling, with the option of a 4-day workweek.
• Family meal provided daily
• Dining discount at all Id Est concepts.

Brutø, an innovative culinary concept, proudly holds several prestigious Michelin accolades, including a sustainability Green Star and a coveted one-star rating. 

Id Est Hospitality Group, I.E., short for an example, is led by Chef Kelly Whitaker. We strive to be exemplary in the world of hospitality. We own and operate Basta, The Wolf's Tailor, Bruto, Dry Storage Bakehouse, and Dry Storage Mill. We manage Hey Kiddo. We are more than a food and beverage company; we want to be a movement. Inside our restaurants, we utilize high skill sets, strong work ethics, and passion for providing authentic restaurants that are creative, fun, relevant, and sustainable. We focus on creating restaurants with soul by acting with care, thought, and precision to ensure every moment and every touchpoint is done right. We hope that, outside our walls, the greater community feels the influence of our work by connecting our internal excellence to our higher mission to impact people and the planet.
