  • Cross-Functional Synergy: Partner with FOH leadership to conduct daily pre-shift meetings, training service staff on menu storytelling, sourcing, preparation techniques, and potential allergens.

  • Guest & Floor Engagement: Maintain an active presence in the dining room as needed to connect with guests, support front-of-house operations, and act as the brand ambassador for the kitchen.

  • Compliance & Safety: Enforce strict compliance with state and federal health codes, sanitation standards, OSHA regulations, and Department of Labor guidelines.
