Compensation

• Starting pay: $15.16 - $20/ hour tip pool
• Average with tips: $25–$40/hour (based on shift volume, seasonality, and performance)

This position blends high-end table service with wine education and sales. You’ll guide guests through our wines, pairings, and culinary offerings while delivering a seamless, luxury experience from greeting to farewell.

What You’ll Do

Service Excellence

• Lead guests through flights and by-the-glass selections with a “story style” approach
• Support bottle and club sales through genuine, elevated recommendations

Food Pairing Knowledge

• Understand menu ingredients, allergens, and dietary accommodations
• Recommend pairings for seasonal dishes and chef features
• Coordinate with BOH to ensure accuracy, timing, and beautiful execution

Luxury Standards Team Culture

• Uphold brand standards: polished appearance, calm communication, and strong etiquette
• Execute opening/closing side work, restocking, polishing glassware, and station organization
• Work as one team—server, bar, kitchen, host—so the guest experience stays effortless

What We’re Looking For

• 1 year serving experience preferred (upscale dining, tasting room, or wine-forward service is a plus)
• Strong communication skills and comfort speaking about wine at the table
• Detail-driven, dependable, and coachable
• Ability to stand/walk for long periods, carry trays, and thrive in busy services with composure

Bonus Points (Not Required)

• Wine certification (WSET, CMS, SWE) or an active wine-education track
• Experience with winery hospitality, pairing dinners, or curated tasting experiences
• Comfort with POS systems, flights, bottle service, and hospitality-driven retail sales

Why Maison

• Elevated wine-country hospitality in one of Colorado’s most beautiful agricultural regions
• Real opportunity to grow wine knowledge and earnings through performance
• A respectful, standards-driven team culture—where excellence is the expectation
