About La Nouvelle Garde

La Nouvelle Garde is redefining the modern French brasserie. We serve classic French dishes done properly — with care, generosity and precision — in lively, relaxed spaces full of energy. Our restaurants are fast-paced, people-led and never stuffy. Quality matters. Atmosphere matters. Team spirit matters most.

As Floor Manager – you are the guardian of how we serve.

You own service quality on the floor, lead training, coach performance and ensure every guest receives confident, generous and consistent hospitality.
