Job description

Restaurant & Events Supervisor

We are searching for a mature, experienced and highly organized Front of House Supervisor to join a well-established golf, restaurant and event operation in the London area.
This is much more than a traditional restaurant supervisor position. We are looking for a versatile hospitality professional who enjoys leading people, coordinating events, improving the guest experience and helping promote the business through social media and creative marketing. This is a hands-on leadership role with significant responsibility and autonomy. The successful candidate will be someone who sees what needs to be done, takes initiative and follows through.

Key Responsibilities
  • Lead and support the front-of-house restaurant team during daily operations
  • Train, coach and develop servers to deliver friendly, efficient and consistent service
  • Assist with staff scheduling, labour management and day-to-day FOH operations
  • Coordinate golf tournaments, leagues, special events, restaurant functions and private bookings
  • Help ensure events are properly organized and executed from planning through completion
  • Handle guest questions and concerns professionally and effectively
  • Work closely with culinary, golf and management teams to ensure smooth operations
  • Create and manage engaging content for the property's social media channels
  • Assist with promotions and creative initiatives designed to increase restaurant, golf and event business
  • Maintain schedules, event information and operational details using spreadsheets and digital tools
  • Work confidently with POS systems and troubleshoot common technology issues
  • Identify opportunities to improve service, organization and overall guest satisfaction
What We're Looking For
  • Minimum 3 years of supervisory or management experience within restaurants, hospitality, golf, events or a similar environment
  • Previous serving experience with a demonstrated ability to train, coach and develop service teams
  • Experience coordinating events, functions, tournaments or private bookings
  • Mature, dependable and confident leadership style
  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to make decisions independently
  • Comfortable using technology and learning new systems
  • Experience with restaurant POS systems and basic troubleshooting
  • Proficiency with Excel or Google Sheets
  • Comfortable using Facebook, Instagram and Canva or similar content-creation platforms
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Excellent guest-service and interpersonal abilities
  • Valid Smart Serve certification
  • Flexible availability, including evenings, weekends, holidays and special events
Who Will Succeed in This Role?
This position is ideal for someone who enjoys variety.
One day you may be leading a busy restaurant and patio shift; the next you could be coordinating a tournament, training a new server, organizing an upcoming event, resolving a POS issue or creating a social media post promoting the business.
You'll thrive in this position if you are hands-on, resourceful, organized and comfortable taking ownership without needing constant direction.
Compensation & Perks
  • $60,000–$65,000 annual salary, based on experience
  • Tips, when applicable
  • Health benefits
  • Vehicle allowance
  • Cell phone allowance
  • Golf privileges
  • Meal allowance
  • A varied leadership position with significant responsibility and autonomy
  • Opportunity to contribute ideas and have a direct impact on the guest experience and growth of the business
About the Operation
This is an established public golf, restaurant and event destination in the London area, offering a busy restaurant and patio along with golf leagues, tournaments, private functions and special events.
The operation is known for providing a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere while maintaining a strong commitment to value, hospitality and excellent guest service. This is a full-time position with scheduling flexibility based on the needs of the operation.
If you're an experienced hospitality leader who enjoys working with people, organizing events, solving problems and making things happen, we'd like to hear from you.
Apply today. Send resume to scotts@geckohospitality.com
