What draws you to hospitality?
What excited you about this opportunity?
What motivates you to seek a leadership role in restaurants?

Owned by Chef Tomer Blechman, Theodora is a wood-fired Mediterranean restaurant in Fort Greene centered around open-fire cooking, exceptional hospitality, and a thoughtfully curated food and beverage program. Since opening, Theodora has become known for its warm service, vibrant dining room, and ambitious culinary vision.

We are looking for a manager who loves restaurants and understands that hospitality starts on the floor. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who wants to be actively involved in service, coach and support the team in real time, and help create memorable experiences for guests every night.

The ideal candidate will have management experience in a similar style of restaurant, though we are also open to training a passionate and career-minded server who is ready to take the next step into leadership.

What You'll Do

• Work closely with the kitchen and bar teams to ensure seamless execution
• Help foster a positive, professional, and hospitality-driven culture
• Support training and onboarding initiatives
• Assist with administrative responsibilities as needed

While there will be opportunities to participate in administrative projects, this is primarily an evening service position focused on leading the dining room and supporting the guest experience.

Food & Beverage

The role includes ongoing education in our food, wine, and cocktail programs. Candidates should be excited to learn and sell wine from our curated natural wine list and support a beverage program developed in close collaboration with the kitchen.

Growth & Development

The Floor Manager will report directly to Theodora's General Manager and Assistant General Manager and work closely with the company's Director of Operations.

We are committed to developing leaders through hands on mentorship and are looking for someone who is excited to grow alongside the restaurant and our broader company. There is opportunity for long term advancement for the right candidate.
