About the Role

At 414 Cheese Co., we believe cheese should be celebrated — not just eaten. We’re a small, farm-fresh cheese room in the heart of Milwaukee, serving up artisan cheeses, seasonal bites, and curated wine pairings with a whole lot of heart and hospitality. We’re looking for a Tasting Room Host to join our crew — someone who loves connecting with people, telling stories through food, and bringing a warm, welcoming vibe to every shift. Whether you’re a longtime cheese nerd or just cheese-curious, we’re happy to teach you everything you need to know.

What you'll do

  • Greet and engage guests, offering a warm and inclusive tasting experience
  • • Guide guests through cheese and wine pairings with confidence and curiosity
  • • Share product knowledge and farm stories in a fun, approachable way (we’ll train you!)
  • • Maintain a clean, stocked, and inviting tasting room environment
  • • Support small events, private tastings, and seasonal menu offerings with a can-do attitude

What we're looking for

  • Strong communication and people skills — you’re friendly, approachable, and love making guests feel welcome
  • • Willingness to learn about cheese, wine, and food pairings (no prior experience needed)
  • • Ability to stay organized and multitask in a fast-paced, guest-facing environment
  • • Must be 21+ and able to obtain a bartender/server license if serving alcohol

Nice to have

  • Previous experience in hospitality, food service, or tasting rooms
  • • Passion for local food, sustainable farming, or artisan cheese
