The ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment and lead by example is essential. This position demands strong interpersonal skills and a commitment to fostering a respectful and efficient workplace. Candidates should expect to work 50 to 55 hours per week, including days, nights, weekends, and holidays as required, to meet the dynamic needs of the restaurant. The role requires compliance with physical demands such as standing and walking for long periods, occasional lifting, and the flexibility to perform various kitchen tasks. Certification as a Manager Food Handler is mandatory, reflecting our commitment to food safety and regulatory compliance. Successful candidates will join a team where their leadership will directly impact guest satisfaction and operational efficiency. This opportunity is ideal for individuals looking to assume a leadership role within the food service industry, particularly those passionate about culinary arts and team management.
