Running the Show

• Lead a seasonal team from opening day to the final farewell, ensuring guests get top-notch service every single time.

Training & Developing Your Team

• Help hire, train, and coach a seasonal team of hospitality rock stars.
• Keep the team engaged and focused on both fun and performance.
• Foster a culture of respect, learning, and teamwork — and make sure they leave with lifelong skills.

Operations & Compliance

• Manage deliveries, inventory, and invoices so the back end runs as smoothly as the front.
• Champion safety and sanitation — even in the wild, clean and safe comes first.
• Stay on top of local and state regulations — you’re the pro making sure we stay compliant.
• Monitor responsible alcohol service — keep it fun, keep it safe.
• Implement new policies and procedures to keep improving the guest and team experience.

What You Bring to the Table
? A passion for hospitality — you love making people’s days better.
? An eagle eye for detail — even in a packed house, nothing gets past you.
? Cool under pressure — you shine brightest when the rush is on.
? Strong leadership mojo — your team trusts you, respects you, and follows your lead.
? Quick thinker — you see a problem, you solve it, you keep moving.
? Excellent communication skills — clear, friendly, and professional.

The Must-Haves

• Able to stand and move for up to 10 hours per shift.
• Comfortable lifting up to 50 lbs.
• Current TAPs and Food Handler/ServSafe Certification (or willing to obtain).
• Bachelor’s degree is a plus, but not required.
• At least 1 year of experience in a high-volume ($3-$5 million/year) restaurant preferred.
• Previous supervisory or management experience is strongly preferred — but if you’ve got natural leadership skills, we’re interested!
