• Strong training knowledge and comfort guiding team members through ongoing training.
• Exceptional attention to detail, with the ability to spot, correct, and coach on the smallest service elements.
• Outstanding organizational, multitasking, and communication skills.
• Hands-on leadership style: leads from the floor, not from the office.
• Bachelor's degree in Hospitality Management, Business Administration, or a related field preferred.

Here's what you'll do during a typical day:

• Ensure seamless operations: Manage daily food and beverage operations for designated outlets, ensuring top-tier quality, service, and marketing strategies that maximize profitability and customer satisfaction

• Inspire and develop the team: Supervise, coach, and mentor team members, provide professional development opportunities, and recognize achievements to build, retain, and engage a high-performing team
• Uphold regulatory standards: Maintain compliance with health, safety, sanitation, and alcohol awareness regulations, ensuring the highest standards of guest and team member wellbeing
