The Restaurant Manager will be a hands-on leader on the floor, ensuring that service is seamless, standards are upheld, and every guest interaction reflects the soul of Marcel.

• Lead by example on the floor, embodying refined, gracious hospitality during service
• Train, mentor, and support staff to uphold luxury service standards and detailed steps of service
• Partner with the GM, AGM, and culinary leadership to align service with Marcel's fine dining vision
• Maintain guest relations with professionalism, handling concerns with discretion and solution-oriented leadership
• Support financial performance through cost control, purchasing, and scheduling
• Assist with private, semi-private, and hosted dining activations in collaboration with the events team
• Ensure all safety, sanitation, and ServSafe standards are consistently maintained

What we're looking for:

• 2–4 years of fine dining restaurant management experience
• Strong food, wine, and beverage knowledge with an interest in pairing and luxury service
• Proven ability to thrive in a high-volume, detail-driven environment
• Excellent communication and leadership skills, with a guest-first mindset
