We are seeking a seasoned, high-energy Service Manager to lead the front-of-house team within a respected, culinary-driven hospitality group known for its integrity, guest focus, and commitment to taking care of its people.

This is not just an operations role. This is a culture-setting leadership position for someone who leads from the floor, inspires their team, and creates memorable guest experiences through genuine hospitality.

The ideal candidate is deeply passionate about people—both guests and team members—and brings the drive, presence, and emotional intelligence to mentor, motivate, and elevate those around them.

What You’ll Do
• Lead from the floor, setting the tone for a guest-first, hospitality-driven culture
• Build, coach, and develop a high-performing FOH team through hands-on leadership
• Create an environment where team members feel supported, valued, and motivated
• Drive guest satisfaction through active floor presence and meaningful engagement
• Anticipate and resolve guest needs with professionalism and care
• Partner with culinary leadership to ensure seamless service and execution
• Hold the team accountable to high standards while maintaining a positive, respectful culture
• Support daily operations, staffing, and service flow in a high-volume setting

What We’re Looking For
• 5+ years of leadership experience in a full-service, high-volume restaurant
• A true hospitality leader who leads on the floor and puts guests and people first
• Proven ability to mentor, motivate, and develop teams
• High level of energy, ownership, and personal accountability
• Strong food, wine, and beverage knowledge with a passion for quality
• Excellent communication skills and emotional intelligence
• Detail-oriented with the ability to stay composed in a fast-paced environment
• Experience with P&L, labor management, and cost controls
• Food safety certification required; hospitality or culinary degree is a plus

Why Join Us
• People-first culture with a strong reputation for taking care of both guests and team members
• Competitive salary + bonus potential
• Medical, dental, and vision benefits available immediately
• 401(k) with company participation
• Real growth opportunities within a respected hospitality group
• Collaborative environment where your leadership and voice matter

If you are a driven hospitality professional who thrives on developing people, leading from the front, and creating unforgettable guest experiences, we would love to connect.
