Floor Manager

We’re looking for a Floor Manager who can run a tight ship without killing the joy . You’ll be the heartbeat of service—keeping the energy high, the team aligned, the guests happy, and the dining room flowing like a perfectly timed playlist. If you love hospitality, thrive under pressure, and can lead with both warmth and standards, you’ll fit right in.

This role is ideal for someone who’s equal parts coach, conductor, and problem-solver —with a sharp eye for details and a strong sense of people.

Lead pre-shift: set the tone, communicate the plan, and get the team locked in

Manage pacing and flow: quotes, turns, seating, sections, and all the little levers that create a great night

Stay guest-facing: read the room, anticipate needs, and handle issues quickly and graciously

Ensure service standards: steps of service, check timing, table touches, hospitality moments

Coach servers, hosts, food runners, and bartenders in real time—kindly and clearly

Keep morale up and drama down (you’re calm, consistent, and fair)

Help train new team members and reinforce service fundamentals

Act as the point person for shift decisions, conflict resolution, and quick adjustments

Communicate cleanly with the kitchen: pacing, 86s, allergy needs, and special situations

Support expo / pass as needed during peak service

Keep the whole operation moving as one team—no silos, no surprises

Handle guest recoveries and “make it right” moments with confidence

Build regulars through genuine connection

Make sure every guest leaves feeling taken care of (and excited to come back)

Maintain a clean, organized, and stocked dining room throughout service

Ensure stations are set, side work gets done, and closing is strong

Enforce safety, sanitation, and compliance standards

Service feels smooth, even when it’s slammed

Guests feel seen, cared for, and impressed

Staff feels supported, guided, and proud of the shift

Communication stays clear, calm, and solutions-focused

The restaurant hits its standards: timing, cleanliness, hospitality, and consistency

2+ years managing or leading FOH in a high-volume or quality-driven restaurant

Strong instincts with pacing, guest recovery, and team leadership

Confident communicator who can be direct without being harsh

Organized, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure

A true hospitality person: you enjoy people, you notice everything, and you take pride in the work

Flexible schedule including nights, weekends, and holidays as needed

Bonus points if you have:

Experience with reservation/waitlist systems (Resy, Toast POS, etc.)

Strong wine/beer/cocktail knowledge

Experience in restaurants with high standards of food + service
