Ready to level up your leadership game and help run the show? As a Manager, you’ll play a key role in keeping your department (aka your Area of Responsibility) running smoothly, your team thriving, and your guests coming back for more. Whether you’re crushing it on the floor or in the kitchen—your energy, know-how, and people-first approach make all the difference.

This role is hands‑on, fast‑paced, and full of opportunities to grow. You’ll take charge of either Service, Kitchen, or Bar, with clear paths for advancement as you master each area. Title and pay upgrades come with the territory—we invest in the people who bring the good vibes and great results.

• Keep the space safe and clean, and your team in the loop
• Regularly inspect equipment and report anything that’s off

Operational Smoothness

• Be the go-to communicator between departments
• Help coordinate food orders, timing, and presentation so everything comes out right - this means everyone helps in the kitchen, regardless of their department assignment
