• Oversee catering operations, events, and community activations.
• Recruit, hire, onboard, and train team members who embody The Salty culture.
• Solve problems proactively and maintain a calm, confident leadership presence.

What You Bring: 

• 4+ years of management experience in hospitality, QSR, or food & beverage.
• Experience leading teams of 10+ per shift.
• Strong understanding of P&L, labor management, scheduling, and operations.
• A guest‑obsessed, people‑focused leadership style.
• Ability to stay composed in high‑volume environments.
• A positive, coachable, humble attitude with a drive to grow.
• ServSafe Manager Certification (or ability to obtain within 90 days).
• Ability to work weekends and holidays.

What We Offer: 

• Competitive salary + monthly bonus.
• 45–50 hour workweek with schedule flexibility.
• 6 weeks paid parental leave.
• Health, dental, and vision benefits.
• Matching HSA + 401(k).
