• Act as an extension of the GM and a leadership presence in their absence

• A hospitality-first leader with 3–5+ years of restaurant management experience, including beverage oversight
• Passionate about beverage, with working knowledge of wine, cocktails, and cost management
• Experienced in fast-paced, high-volume service environments, ideally in upscale casual or chef-driven concepts
• Known for your presence on the floor, strength in team leadership, and ability to balance service with operations
• Comfortable navigating systems like inventory, scheduling, and training programs
• Serv Safe Manager and RBS (Responsible Beverage Service) certified, or able to obtain upon hire
• Bilingual in English and Spanish a plus

• Full-time, exempt position requiring availability on evenings, weekends, and holidays
