Assistant Manager of Drop Dulwich

I am looking for an Assistant Manager to join me in opening my wine shop & bar in East Dulwich this September.

Who is DROP?

Drop Wine is a family of wine bars and shops in London which also offers on demand delivery to local wine lovers.

Drop started as an App in 2016 with a great idea to get a bottle of wine to thirsty customers within the hour. Since then we've expanded to open independently run shops and bars in Covent Garden, Clapham, Amersham and now East Dulwich.

At each of our locations customers can buy retail wine to take away or stay for a glass or bottle alongside delicious small plates.

We love wine and want people to taste more, discover more and drink more great wine.

Our Philosophy

Our wine philosophy is to offer guests the opportunity to enjoy and discover truly great wine, without breaking the bank. We have a mix of off the beaten track varieties that provide great value and interest; as well as icons of the wine world with suitable cellar age.

We only work with independent wine producers that respect nature and work sustainably and in doing so we pay them a fair price for their efforts.

The Role

We're not necessarily looking for a Master of Wine. WSET Level 2 or 3 would be ideal, but not a deal breaker. Hospitality &/or retail experience is required.

What's most important to us is a positive attitude, willingness to learn and love of all things wine and food.

If you regularly attend wine tastings, always visit the local vineyard when you're on holiday or reliably bring the best wine to a dinner party then get in touch.

We will give you in-depth wine training and you’ll have the opportunity to taste and learn all 200+ wines we have on our shelves; the quirky stuff as well as the Icons.

We offer 28 days holiday (inclusive of bank holidays) and an exceptionally nice crew of colleagues all come with the territory.

Responsibilities:

·       Assisting customers in choosing the perfect bottle of wine

·       Serving wine by the glass

·       Preparing and serving food - typically snack style small plates

·       Opening and closing the shops

·       Ordering wines and maintaining stock levels

·       Accurate stock taking

·       Keeping the shops clean, tidy and welcoming

·       Assisting with social media presence

Benefits:

·       Up to £35k depending on experience for a 40 hour week

·       20% discount on all Drop wines

·       28 days holiday per year

·       Company pension

·       Full training on 200+ wines
