Financial Oversight Tracking : Assist the General Manager in auditing weekly food and beverage costs (COGS), building labor schedules against local tourism cycles, and checking POS reporting systems to protect portfolio margins. Guest Experience & Resolution : Set the standard for 5-star service by leading by example on the floor. Address guest concerns with absolute poise and use data from guest comments to improve internal systems. Compliance & Standard Auditing : Ensure the restaurant maintains perfect alignment with Louisiana health codes, safety regulations, and interior cleanliness standards.

Leadership Style : Exceptional communication skills with the unique ability to motivate, lead, and unite a diverse workforce through high-stress, high-volume shifts. Credential s: Must possess (or be able to rapidly obtain) a valid Food Safety Manager Certificate and a Louisiana Responsible Vendor Permit. Morrow Hospitality
