This is a hands-on leadership role with a rotating five services/week alternating with four services and one admin day, plus monthly inventory oversight with management staff.

  • Develop and coach team members to reach both short- and long-term goals.
  • Other duties as assigned by the General Manager and ownership.

WHO YOU ARE

  • Warm, personable, and genuinely service-minded.
  • A hands-on leader who leads from the floor, not behind a desk.
  • Emotionally intelligent and relationship-driven.
  • A collaborator who thrives in a team setting and works toward collective success.
  • Energetic and passionate about creating a fun, welcoming environment.
  • Detail-oriented with a strong service background — you understand both the feel and flow of hospitality.
  • Resourceful and self-motivated, capable of navigating ambiguity and building structure where needed.

KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS & ABILITIES

  • High emotional intelligence with the ability to connect with and coach others.
  • Skilled in interpersonal relationships and team dynamics.
  • Excellent organizational skills and strong attention to detail.
  • Confident in delegating and prioritizing tasks efficiently.
  • Comfortable using G Suite, scheduling software, TOAST POS, and OpenTable.
  • Banquet or conference F&B execution a plus.
EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE
  • Minimum 2 years of Food & Beverage management experience.
  • Experience managing or supporting events highly desirable.
