We're looking for a Floor Manager who can run a tight ship without killing the joy. You'll be the heartbeat of servicekeeping the energy high, the team aligned, the guests happy, and the dining room flowing like a perfectly timed playlist.

This role is ideal for someone who's equal parts coach, conductor, and problem-solverwith a sharp eye for details and a strong sense of people.

What You'll Do (Day-to-Day)

• Manage pacing and flow: quotes, turns, seating, sections, and all the little levers that create a great night
• Stay guest-facing: read the room, anticipate needs, and handle issues quickly and graciously
• Ensure service standards: steps of service, check timing, table touches, hospitality moments

• Coach servers, hosts, food runners, and bartenders in real timekindly and clearly
• Keep morale up and drama down (you're calm, consistent, and fair)
• Help train new team members and reinforce service fundamentals

Be the bridge between FOH + BOH:

• Communicate cleanly with the kitchen: pacing, 86s, allergy needs, and special situations
• Support expo / pass as needed during peak service
• Keep the whole operation moving as one teamno silos, no surprises

Own the guest experience:

• Handle guest recoveries and "make it right" moments with confidence
• Build regulars through genuine connection
• Make sure every guest leaves feeling taken care of (and excited to come back)

Keep the room sharp:

• Maintain a clean, organized, and stocked dining room throughout service
• Ensure stations are set, side work gets done, and closing is strong
• Enforce safety, sanitation, and compliance standards

• Service feels smooth, even when it's slammed
• Guests feel seen, cared for, and impressed
• Staff feels supported, guided, and proud of the shift
• Communication stays clear, calm, and solutions-focused
• The restaurant hits its standards: timing, cleanliness, hospitality, and consistency

What We're Looking For

• 2+ years managing or leading FOH in a high-volume or quality-driven restaurant
• Strong instincts with pacing, guest recovery, and team leadership
• Confident communicator who can be direct without being harsh
• Organized, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure
• A true hospitality person: you enjoy people, you notice everything, and you take pride in the work
• Flexible schedule including nights, weekends, and holidays as needed

• Experience with reservation/waitlist systems (Resy, Toast POS, etc.)
• Strong wine/beer/cocktail knowledge
• Experience in restaurants with high standards of food + service

The Perks

• Work with a team that takes hospitality seriouslybut doesn't take itself too seriously
• A place where standards matter, growth is real, and great energy is part of the job
• Opportunity to level up leadership skills and be a key part of the restaurant's success
• Company sponsored healthcare
• 2 weeks paid vacation
• Performance bonus quarterly
