What You'll Bring:
  • Previous restaurant management experience (Assistant Manager or higher preferred)
  • Strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills
  • A passion for hospitality and delivering great guest experiences
  • Knowledge of kitchen/back-of-house operations is a plus
  • Commitment to teamwork, integrity, and continuous growth
What We Offer:
  • Competitive compensation based on experience
  • Health insurance and paid vacation for full-time employees
  • Employee dining program
  • Opportunities for advancement and professional development
  • A supportive team culture and a brand you can be proud of
