  • Menu development and culinary direction
  • Décor, music, lighting, and environmental elements
  • Uniforms, branding, and overall guest journey
• Hire, train, coach, and retain a high‑performing hospitality team.
• Maintain impeccable floor presence, regularly engaging with guests, VIPs, and community members to ensure exceptional experiences and strong relationships.
• Lead all operational functions including inventory, purchasing, labor scheduling, cost controls, and P&L management.
• Uphold brand standards of excellence in cleanliness, execution, hospitality, and team culture.
• Oversee health, safety, and compliance regulations in partnership with ownership and legal teams.
• Drive revenue through events, partnerships, and proactive guest outreach.
• Establish and maintain a robust VIP guestbook and high‑touch hospitality approach.

• 5+ years of experience in high‑end or fine dining restaurant management.
• Proven success in leading large teams in fast‑paced, high‑volume environments.
• Sophisticated floor presence and communication style; polished, articulate, and professional.
• Strong guest network and ability to bring and build clientele.
• Deep understanding of service standards, wine/spirits programs, and luxury guest expectations.
• Hands‑on leadership style with the ability to coach, develop, and inspire.
• High integrity, discretion, and emotional intelligence.
• Must be willing to work nights, weekends, and holidays as needed.
