Job description

WHO WE ARE

Hotels done differently. It's not just a slogan or catchphrase, it is who we are in everything we do. We believe in the power of People, Place and Character; ensuring our properties are a place where individuals are valued and celebrated as a tribute to the neighborhoods and the people of the communities in which we operate; elevating our associates' pride in who they are, where they live and who we serve.

Combining luxury with Avant-Garde style, the Daxton Hotel looks to set a new cultural standard in the heart of downtown Birmingham. Minutes from Detroit, Daxton serves as a proud neighbor and a worldly traveler, nurturing local partnerships while building international collaborations to create a vibrant soulful place.

WHO YOU ARE

You are excited and passionate about being a leader in the three-ring circus that is a restaurant. You pride yourself in controlling chaos; and are adept at making each guest in your restaurant feel like they are the only person in the room. While your mission is to provide an unmatched experience for your guests, you value the work and feedback of your associates as well. You enjoy and excel in the fast-paced and often high-pressure environment to execute what is needed in exceeding our guest's expectations and demonstrating the Aparium difference. You are attentive, courteous, efficient and motivate others by inspiring confidence, respect, enthusiasm and collaboration. You are highly organized and can work in an often-unpredictable environment to meet deadlines, all while maintaining a positive and professional demeanor.

THE ROLE

The Assistant Restaurant Manager reports directly to the Madam Restaurant Manager. It is critical the person in this position is tactical and strategic; if you only prefer to "see the forest" and not "plant the trees," then this is not a role for you. All leaders of Aparium are required to get down and dirty to unearth existing needs and personally ensure what needs to be fixed is repaired. We are a young company that is in hyper-growth, so having the ability to be a soldier is as critical as being a general.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Uphold and model the company's principles of People, Place and Character; and ensure your team also models the way our values drive collaboration, intuition and translocal hospitality
• Actively participate in recruitment, training, scheduling, supervising, coaching, and motivation of all Restaurant, Bar, and In-Room Dining Service F&B associates in order to create an environment that nurtures ideas and develops future talent for succession planning in the Restaurant program; effectively use corrective action to address root causes of issues, course-correcting any missed opportunities
• Ensure timely set-up of the dining room and adhere to food & beverage standards and guest requests through active communication with the Culinary Department. Responsible for maintaining a strong guest and VIP relationship and ensuring all requests are communicated to staff.
• Review all reservations and cover count reports to determine appropriate staffing levels and station assignments. Work with the Culinary team to effectively communicate all requests.
• Manage inventory, control breakage/loss reduction of china, glass and silver related to restaurant services. Inspect and oversee the cleanliness and maintenance of all restaurant space, public areas, and service areas.
• Assist in other food & beverage departments as needed
