Copper Vine has been open in downtown New Orleans for almost 5 years. Now we are expanding into Copper Vine Wine Pub & Inn!

We are adding event spaces, guest rooms, a club, rooftop lounge and three brand new kitchens! We are so excited! We are looking for people who want to be a part of this new growth opportunity. With new expansions there are always new challenges. We believe we have a solid framework to work from. It has been a long journey to get us to where we are today and now we get to share it.

A little about the Copper Vine Heart of House: Our kitchen culture is positive, professional and based in growth. We have no room for toxic egos or pretension. We want all of our leaders to be the head of a restaurant someday because we want to continue to expand. We believe in transparency in communication when things are good AND when there is room for improvement. We have created structure to help streamline operations and we continue to improve on a daily basis. Our services are precise, high volume and fast paced.

We are looking for a skilled professional for our polished casual full-service concept. We want someone who can motivate, train, and develop our line-level kitchen staff. We want someone who can have unyielding quality standards while managing costs and labor. If this sounds like you, apply today!
