Tintino is a hybrid space in Kingston: a specialty wine shop, a wine bar with an ever-changing eclectic wine list, and a seasonal restaurant menu built around the best ingredients at their peak. The wine side runs through everything we do, from what’s poured at the table to what’s taken home.

We’re growing our front-of-house team and are hiring full-time section waiters. We also have casual shifts available.

The role

You’ll run your own section through service, delivering attentive, knowledgeable service and helping guests find their way around the list. You’ll also help in the shop, assisting customers with retail purchases and keeping the wine room in valuable order.

We’re a small team and work closely across the floor, bar and kitchen.

What we’re looking for
Minimum two years’ restaurant experience and/or experience in the wine industry (cellar door, retail, distribution)
Confident with wine service and able to talk comfortably about styles, regions and producers
Minimum WSET Level 2 (or equivalent) preferred
Availability to work a rotating roster including nights and weekends

Why Tintino This is a place to grow a career in hospitality,



wine and wine retail. The list changes constantly, so there’s always something current to taste and learn, and the shop adds a side of the trade most restaurant roles don’t offer. We run regular staff tastings and sessions with visiting producers, and there’s scope to take on more over time, whether that’s in retail, training or the list itself.
Pay: Competitive salary
Hours: Full-time, rotating fortnightly roster across days and nights, including weekends

Casual positions We’re also taking on casuals. Suited to people with restaurant or bar experience who are curious about wine and food. If you have good instincts for service, we’ll teach you the rest. Award rates including penalties, plus a share of tips. Evening and weekend availability is essential.

Please send your CV and availability, and let us know whether you’re applying for full time or casual. A few lines on why you’re interested in Tintino specifically is welcome. Shortlisted applicants will be invited to a trial shift.
