• 3–5+ years of progressive leadership experience in upscale or fine‑dining restaurants (Assistant Manager, AGM, or Restaurant Manager level).
• Strong beverage knowledge (wine and spirits required; sake a plus).
• Experience managing and developing teams of 20+ staff in a high‑volume environment.
• Proficiency with POS systems and reservation platforms (Toast, Micros, Aloha, Resy, SevenRooms).
• Experience with inventory and cost‑control systems: MarketMan, Restaurant365, xtraCHEF, etc.

• Excellent communication and guest engagement skills.
• Client portfolio / local guest network is highly valued.
• English fluency required; Spanish highly recommended.
• Familiarity with Asian, Latin, or fusion concepts is a bonus.
