Franciska Wine Bar is a small, owner-operated restaurant located in Portland's Old Port. Our kitchen is intentionally small and focused, dedicated to preparing thoughtful, seasonal dishes with attention to detail and a deep respect for local ingredients.
Our menu is inspired by the flavors of Argentina and shaped by the traditions of Spain and Italy, while celebrating the exceptional products of New England. We believe in simplicity, restraint, and letting great ingredients speak for themselves.
In our first year of operation, Franciska received:
- 4 Stars from the Portland Press Herald
- Recognition from The New York Times as one of the 14 Best Desserts in America
- Inclusion on both Eater and The Infatuation lists of the best places to eat in Maine
We are looking to fill an important role within our small family-owned restaurant. This position is ideal for someone who takes pride in their work, enjoys being part of a close-knit team, and understands that consistency and attention to detail matter.
What We're Looking For
- Strong attention to detail
- Reliability and punctuality
- A positive attitude and willingness to learn
- Respect for teammates and a collaborative mindset
- Genuine care for ingredients, cleanliness, and organization
- Ability to work independently and stay focused during your shift
Responsibilities
- Daily prep and Cold Station production
- Maintaining cleanliness and organization throughout the kitchen
- Supporting FOH service as needed
- Contributing to a professional, respectful, and team-oriented work environment
We value humility, curiosity, and people who care about doing things the right way. Experience is important, but character, work ethic, and attitude matter just as much.
If you're looking for a kitchen where quality comes before quantity, where your work matters, and where you'll be part of a small team striving to improve every day, we'd love to hear from you.
Pay: From $23.00 per hour
Work Location: In person
