• Partner with the BOH Leadership Team to improve communication, service flow, quality, staffing, inventory, and the overall guest experience.
• Work with the FOH General Manager, Chef/Kitchen Manager, and Finance team to achieve identified operational and financial goals.
• Support special events and major campus operations as needed.
