Hospitality Supervisor at WSA Entertainment LLC – Pacific Beach, Washington

The Hospitality Supervisor is responsible for leading the front of house operation with excellence, consistency, and a strong sense of hospitality while also supporting sales growth, administrative coordination, and compliance with company standards and workplace expectations. This role oversees daily service execution, front of house scheduling, staff coaching, guest relations, service training, and selected administrative functions while supporting the Managing Partners and Chef with operational coordination across the business.
