Job Details

We're looking for a hospitality-driven leader who loves being on the floor, connecting with guests, and developing teams.

This is not a position for someone who wants to manage from an office. We're seeking a hands-on leader who thrives in a busy dining room, enjoys coaching others, and understands that great hospitality starts with creating a great environment for both guests and staff.

You'll work alongside an experienced leadership team in a high-volume, neighborhood-focused restaurant known for its energy, strong culture, and commitment to exceptional service.

What You'll Do
  • Lead service while maintaining a visible presence on the floor
  • Coach, mentor, and develop front-of-house team members
  • Create a positive and accountable culture built on hospitality and teamwork
  • Ensure every guest receives genuine, memorable service
  • Help recruit, interview, and onboard new team members
  • Partner with fellow managers to solve problems and improve operations
  • Hold team members accountable to service, cleanliness, and operational standards
  • Assist with scheduling, labor management, and daily administrative responsibilities
  • Jump in wherever needed to support the team and the guest experience
What We're Looking For
  • Previous leadership experience in a full-service restaurant
  • A passion for hospitality and creating memorable experiences
  • Strong communication and people-development skills
  • Ability to lead confidently in a fast-paced environment
  • Positive attitude and solutions-oriented mindset
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
  • Someone who leads by example and isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves
Why Join Us?
  • Competitive salary starting at $70,000+
  • Quarterly bonus program
  • Health insurance
  • Disability insurance
  • 401(k) with employer match
  • Cell phone allowance
  • Paid time off
  • Real opportunity for advancement within a growing organization
