- Maintain a visible leadership presence during peak periods, including evenings and weekends
- Handle difficult guest and employee situations calmly, professionally, and decisively
- Develop dependable managers and key employees who can successfully operate the business in your absence
- Partner directly with ownership on opportunities to improve the operation, increase sales, and continue growing the business
What We’re Looking For

- A strong sense of ownership, dependability, and personal accountability
- Comfortable working evenings, weekends, events, and peak business periods
- Experience in high-volume casual dining, sports bars, nightlife, entertainment venues, or multi-concept hospitality operations is highly preferred.
Compensation & Benefits
- Base salary around $90,000, based on experience
