Anyone in the service industry here? Managers or anyone in fine dining?
I'd really love to serve in a fine dining setting but I don't have prior experience serving in anything close.
A VERY popular spot in my city is holding open interviews this week and I plan on paying them a visit.
I've been serving for over a year at a higher-end chain ($16-$25 per entree) but didn't learn a few key things that would probably be really beneficial. To be specific, I don't know too much about wine like how to differentiate between them or their characteristics. Also, I won't be turning 21 for another few weeks.
Would this be a deal breaker for the hiring manager?
I would seriously love to work there.

This is pretty easy, anon. You poor a little wine into a glass. Swirl it around a bit. Drink it. Then you pick up the bottle and read the back of the label.
Op it's doubtful you'd have anything to do with wine if this is truly upscale. They hire people specifically for that job. So I wouldn't worry about the wine. Just go in and do the application process. You have experience in service and that's anyone looks for in servers.
Talk with a French accent during your interview, it will make you look knowledgeable.
