A destination restaurant in Groot Brakriver is seeking a motivated and service-oriented Junior Front of House Manager to support daily FOH operations and help deliver consistently high-quality guest experiences. This is an ideal opportunity for someone with hospitality experience who’s ready to step into a leadership role.

You’ll assist in supervising front-of-house staff, managing daily service, and ensuring guests are welcomed into a clean, efficient, and friendly environment.

Strong communication and interpersonal skills are key, along with the ability to stay calm under pressure in a fast-paced environment.

Familiarity with POS systems and daily operational procedures is a plus.

You’ll support the FOH Manager in training and scheduling staff, lead by example during service, and help manage reservations and walk-ins.

You’ll monitor cleanliness, respond to guest inquiries, and ensure compliance with hygiene, health, and safety standards.

Keeping tabs on FOH supply levels and stepping into a shift lead role when needed will also be part of your day-to-day.

Working hours : 7 : 30 am to close, including evenings, weekends, and holidays.
