Assistant Manager (Bar Focus) – Gigglewaters Social Club & Screening Room

Safety Harbor, FL | Full-Time | $45,000–$47,500/year

In the late 1920s, if you wanted a cocktail you asked for a "giggle water." Today, Gigglewaters Social Club & Screening Room brings that speakeasy spirit to downtown Safety Harbor: a full-service restaurant, craft cocktail bar and intimate classic-movie screening room, all under one tin ceiling. We're award-winning, locally and family owned, and growing.

We're looking for an Assistant Manager who loves a great bar program and can run the whole house with equal confidence.

• Keep systems, checklists and paperwork organized so every shift runs smoothly

What You Bring

• At least 2 years of full restaurant management or leadership experience, front and back of house
• Strong bar knowledge: craft cocktails, spirits, beer and wine, bar inventory and cost control
• Exceptional organizational skills. On any given night we might have the restaurant, the bar, the screening room and a community event all running at once. You keep every moving piece on track, including the schedule, the order sheets and the details in between.
• Calm, hands-on leadership in a busy, guest-facing environment
• Open availability, including nights, weekends and holidays
• Food safety and responsible alcohol service certifications (or ability to obtain)
