Job description

Our current wage range is $65,000 to $75,000 per year

Lead the floor at the liveliest tapas bar in the neighborhood.

At Boqueria, we're in the business of taking care of people, and that starts with our team. Our mission is to foster positive energy and human connections, and our managers make it happen every night. As Front of House Manager, you own the floor: you lead the shift, coach the team in real time and make sure every guest gets Boqueria at its best. It's a great step into restaurant management, with room to grow.

This role is for you if:

• You love taking care of people, guests and team alike.
• You're a natural leader with a coach's mentality, and you believe a team succeeds together.
• You have a dynamic floor presence and create connections that turn first-time guests into regulars.
• You sweat the details, own it when things go sideways and always do the right thing.
• You keep your sense of humor on a packed Friday night.

What you'll do:

• Run the shift: lead pre-shift, set the tone on the floor and take every guest's experience up a notch.
• Coach in the moment: train, develop and support our servers, bartenders, hosts and support staff, on the floor and in the moment.
• Take care of guests: read the room, check on tables and turn any miss into a reason to come back.
• Build the culture: bring our core values to life and create a workplace where people feel supported and proud of what they do.
• Support the leadership team: partner with the GM and AGM on service standards, labor on the floor and readiness for every service and DOH inspection.

What you bring:

• A genuine passion for hospitality and for leading and developing people.
• Strong communication skills: you listen, give clear feedback and keep the team informed.
• Experience leading shifts or teams in a high-volume restaurant, as a supervisor, captain or manager.
• Strong food and beverage knowledge.
• Strong organizing and planning skills, and an understanding of how daily decisions affect the business.
• Comfort with our systems, or the ability to learn them quickly: OpenTable, Toast, Restaurant365 and Dolce, plus Microsoft Office and Excel.
• Energy, positivity and a good sense of humor.
• You must be at least 18 years old.
• Required food safety certifications will be obtained and confirmed upon hire.

What we offer:

• Salary: competitive, based on experience, paid weekly.
• Benefits: medical, dental, vision, disability, life and supplemental coverage.
• Time and perks: paid time off, discounted meals and flexible scheduling.
• Growth: a path to grow with Boqueria Restaurant Group, a growing, founder-led restaurant group.
• Culture: a team with high standards that takes care of each other.

About Boqueria®

Boqueria is a neighborhood tapas bar inspired by the buzzy kiosks around El Mercado de la Boqueria, Barcelona's famous food market. Since our first restaurant opened on 19th Street in Manhattan's Flatiron district in 2006, our open kitchens have turned out classic Spanish tapas and seasonal small plates made for sharing. We're rooted in tradition, but we're not traditional. Today you'll find Boqueria in New York, Washington DC, Chicago, Nashville, Boston, West Hartford and Atlanta.
