This is an opportunity to step into a key leadership role at one of the most vibrant fine-dining destinations - where your presence, perspective, and attention to detail will help shape unforgettable guest experiences and a thriving service culture.

As Floor Manager, you’ll lead by example, supporting a team of service professionals while working closely with both the kitchen and bar to ensure a seamless guest experience from start to finish.

Providing consistent leadership on the floor, guiding service and supporting your team in real time

Partnering with the kitchen and beverage teams to ensure smooth communication and flow of service

Anticipating guest needs, handling service recovery with professionalism, and fostering a warm, welcoming environment

Leading pre-shift meetings to align the team, communicate updates, and reinforce service goals

Supporting hiring, onboarding, and training to ensure team members are set up for success

Helping maintain high standards of wine and beverage service through team coaching and guest engagement

Assisting with scheduling, inventory, and other operational needs in collaboration with senior leadership

What You Bring

3+ years of leadership experience in a polished-casual or fine-dining setting

Strong working knowledge of wine, cocktails, and beverage service - formal certification not required, but confidence in guiding pairings is key

A calm, solution-oriented mindset during busy or high-pressure moments

Experience with POS systems, OpenTable, and scheduling platforms

Excellent communication skills and a team-first leadership style

A polished and professional presence with a passion for hospitality
