Job description

Working for a living can be a drag. We try not to be one of them.

Our restaurant group is adding to our team. We’re a Florida-forward, coastal cuisine restaurant and bar — the fifth concept from our family-owned group, run by “born-and-raised Tampa Bay locals.”

Our restaurants are 10 minutes from the beaches and sit on both sides of the “Gulf-to-Bay” region between Dunedin and Safety Harbor. Our grouper and hogfish sandwiches and elevated cocktails are famous around town. Locals have been our longtime guests and friends since our first location opened in November of 2006.

Most of our team has been with us 10+ years and counting. And that’s not an accident.

Here’s the thing about us: our town is small. Especially after 54 years of living in it. We run into people we know everywhere we go. So we don’t make it a point to be friendly — we just are. (Well, 98% of the time.) Because we like what we do for a living, and we love where we live. We believe our town is the BEST place to live, work, play, and raise a family — and that’s how we run our restaurants.

About the job

Working for a living can be a drag. We try not to be one of them.

Our restaurant group is adding to our team. We’re a Florida-forward, coastal cuisine restaurant and bar — the fifth concept from our family-owned group, run by “born-and-raised Tampa Bay locals.”

Our restaurants are 10 minutes from the beaches and sit on both sides of the “Gulf-to-Bay” region between Dunedin and Safety Harbor. Our grouper and hogfish sandwiches and elevated cocktails are famous around town. Locals have been our longtime guests and friends since our first location opened in November of 2006.

Here’s the thing about us: our town is small. Especially after 54 years of living in it. We run into people we know everywhere we go. So we don’t make it a point to be friendly — we just are. (Well, 98% of the time.) Because we like what we do for a living, and we love where we live. We believe our town is the BEST place to live, work, play, and raise a family — and that’s how we run our restaurants.

• Share responsibility for scheduling, inventory, and ordering.
• Forward thinking is not just a job request — we expect you to have it.

What we’re looking for:

• 5+ years of restaurant management experience. Battle scars welcome.
• Great comfort with high-tech systems — we run mobile tableside service on handhelds. Our POS is smart; you have to be too.
• Excel skills — so many people can't do this. Are you the exception?
• Sharp with details — clear shift notes, texts, and emails that make sense; paperwork that doesn’t need a translator. Reading and writing skills pay off here.
• A team player. Calm in a Friday rush, but still great with people and able to handle a floor with finesse.
• Nights, weekends, and holidays — it’s a busy restaurant and bar. Those are the days our guests want to visit us!

What we offer:

Competitive and CONSISTENT wages. We weathered hurricanes and shutdowns. Ask anyone on our team about our consistent wages and loyalty to the team.

Health care allowance. Meals. Bonus structure. All the perks of corporate, but without the bore.
