Culinary Oversight

  • Ensure food quality, consistency, and kitchen cleanliness
  • Manage scheduling, inventory, purchasing, and cost controls
  • Lead department innovation and pricing discussions
  • Support team development and structure refinement

Banquet Oversight

  • Oversee training, hospitality standards, and communication for server staff
  • Review captain paperwork, bar logs, and office day usage
  • Manage labor assignments and scheduling strategy

Property Oversight

  • Conduct walkthroughs to ensure safety, compliance, and visual standards
  • Oversee landscaping, inventory, and aesthetic maintenance
  • Manage cost controls and property upkeep

What We’re Looking For:

  • Proven experience in hospitality, events, or restaurant operations leadership
  • Hands-on trainer and coach with strong team-building instincts
  • Skilled in SOP development, documentation, and operational execution
  • Detail-oriented and organized, with excellent time and project management
  • High emotional intelligence with a service-first, ego-free leadership style
  • Comfortable with vendor negotiations, HR coaching, and performance management
  • Strong understanding of inventory systems, purchasing, and expense management
  • Proficient in Excel and professional communication (memos, checklists, reports)
  • Assertive, kind, and confident, able to hold high standards while building trust
