Food and Beverage/Wine Steward: Works as a member of the Food and Beverage team, reports to Food and Beverage Manager. Key traits for success: reliability/responsibility, time management, customer service, attention to detail, wine knowledge and appreciation, organization. Wine stewards are primarily responsible for becoming knowledgeable about wines in general, and particularly about A Bar A’s wine selection, and are expected to provide a high level of wine service to our guests. They help guests make wine selections at dinner, present and serve wine appropriately, and provide pouring service throughout the meal. Recording sales, reporting them to the office manager, tracking inventory, and notifying the F&B Manager of re-order needs are critical tasks. Wine stewards also share the responsibilities of the general food service staff. Wine stewards and bartenders are required to enforce A Bar A policies and Wyoming State Law for guest and staff drinking and bar hours. [see Food Service Staff description]
