About the role

Reporting to the Restaurant Manager, you'll lead the floor team on each shift, keep service running smoothly and take charge when the manager is off site. This is a hands-on supervisory role: we expect you to serve guests and support the team during quiet periods, not just direct from the sidelines. It's a outstanding next step for a senior waiter or bartender ready to move into leadership, with a explicit pathway to Assistant or Restaurant Manager.
