Position: Floor Manager / Guest Experience Manager Reports to: Owners

Overview

We are seeking a hands‑on Floor Manager / Guest Experience Manager who thrives in a fast‑paced dining room and takes pride in building both exceptional guest experiences and a high‑performing team culture.

This role is not behind a desk, it lives on the floor.

You will be the daily leader of the Front of House, setting the tone for service, connecting with guests, and developing a staff that consistently delivers memorable experiences. If you’re someone who naturally circulates the room, knows how to read energy, and leads by presence, not position, this is your role.

• Touch tables with purpose, ensuring every guest feels welcomed, valued, and remembered
• Handle guest feedback in real time, turning issues into loyalty‑building moments
• Set and uphold the standard for exceptional hospitality

Team Development & Culture

• Lead, coach, and mentor Front of House staff (servers, bartenders, hosts, runners)
• Build a strong, positive team culture centered on accountability and pride in service
• Assist in hiring, onboarding, and training new team members
• Continuously elevate staff performance through real‑time feedback and development

Service Execution

• Oversee daily service flow to ensure smooth, efficient operations
• Maintain high standards of service timing, communication, and presentation
• Partner with kitchen leadership to ensure seamless FOH/BOH coordination during service

Floor Ownership

• Run pre‑shift meetings with clarity and energy
• Be the decision‑maker during service—own the room
• Identify opportunities to improve the guest experience and implement solutions quickly

Qualifications

• Proven experience in a high‑volume, hospitality‑driven restaurant environment
• Strong leadership presence with the ability to command a room without ego
• Natural ability to connect with guests and build rapport quickly
• Experience training and developing service staff
• Calm under pressure with strong decision‑making instincts
• A genuine passion for hospitality and team building

What Success Looks Like

• Guests feel personally connected to the venue
• Staff are engaged, accountable, and improving
• The dining room runs smoothly, even at peak volume
• You are known by both guests and team as the standard‑setter
