This role is all about being in the action, setting the tone, and ensuring legendary guest experiences every shift. If you’re a leader who thrives under pressure, loves building and mentoring teams, and can keep a smile through any storm, this is the job for you.

What You’ll Be Doing

Running the Floor Like a Pro

• Own your shift — whether opening, mid, or closing — you’re in control.
• Ensure the team is firing on all cylinders and the guest experience is flawless.
• Coach, motivate, and support your team in real time — great leadership happens in the moment.
• Oversee cleanliness, organization, and flow — when you’re in charge, it’s smooth sailing.

Delivering Legendary Guest Experiences

• Jump in and save the day when needed — guest recovery is second nature to you.
• Set the example — your hospitality style sets the bar for the whole team.
• Hold the team accountable to our gold-standard service expectations.
• Assist in hiring the best — you know talent when you see it.
• Train, mentor, and develop future leaders.
• Build a culture where accountability and fun go hand-in-hand.

Operational Excellence & Compliance

• Manage deliveries, inventory, and invoices like a pro.
• Ensure safety and sanitation — because nothing’s more important.
• Keep us 100% compliant with local, state, and federal regulations.
• Monitor alcohol service and ensure all team members serve responsibly.
• Roll out new programs and initiatives to keep us ahead of the game.

What You Bring to the Table
? A passion for hospitality — you live to create unforgettable moments.
? An eagle eye for detail — nothing slips past you.
? Calm under pressure — you thrive in organized chaos.
? Leadership instincts — your team trusts and follows you.
? Creative problem solver — you think fast and adapt even faster.
? Strong communicator — you get the message across clearly and with heart.

The Must-Haves

• Comfortable standing, moving, and working 10-12 hour shifts.
• Able to lift up to 40 lbs.
• Current TAPs and Food Handler/ServSafe Certification (or willing to obtain).
• Bachelor’s degree is great, but experience matters more.
• At least 1 year of experience in a high-volume ($3-$5 million/year), fast-paced restaurant preferred.
• Prior supervisory or management experience highly preferred — but we’ll take natural leaders with the right attitude too!

What’s In It For You?
?? Competitive Pay – Salary based on experience
?? 401(k) with Employer Match
