Job Description:

We are looking for someone who enjoys leading a team through a successful day, week, month, or year. From serving food to cleaning the floor, this restaurant leader sees it as an exciting challenge to motivate his/her team to complete these tasks at an excellent level with enthusiasm every time.

You are a leader who appreciates food quality, customer service, and empowering those they are leading. You enjoy seeing each employee on your shift thrive under pressure while completing orders with 100% care and enthusiasm. You see the restaurant as an operation that is great on its own, but each person can be encouraged to be better if they run together as a team with you helping lead the way.

Holding people accountable while showing respect and kindness to them fits your personality and leadership style. Having people come to work under you shift, gives your employees comfort and excitement when they see you.

Implementing systems, check sheets, food orders, inventory, and other ways of accountability are exciting to you. You see these systems as providing structure rather than hindering productivity. Ensuring your team understands why they are doing something is imperative to the way you lead others and communicate with those on your team. Your definition of leadership comes close to: getting the most out of each individual you lead and helping them find out they are capable of a lot more then they give themselves credit for.

We pride ourselves in having a family atmosphere both for the customer and the employee, and we are looking for you to join our family!

Responsibilities:

• You understand you are in the people business not the food business
• Taking care of each employee under your per view
• Ensuring your team feels comfortable and empowered under your leadership
• Able to lead by example and with a servant-like leadership style
• Keep systems running through the provided tools

Qualifications:

• Have a teamwork mindset
• Leadership experience
• Able to work in a fast-paced work environment
• Able to be on your feet for up to 8 hours at a time
• Able to lift, carry, or pull objects that may be heavy
• Manager Food Safety Certification is required
• Able to prioritize, organize, and manage multiple tasks
• Strong communication and leadership skills
