    We are seeking a hands-on Floor Manager / Guest Experience Manager who thrives in a fast-paced dining room and takes pride in building both exceptional guest experiences and a high-performing team culture.

    This role is not behind a desk, it lives on the floor.

    You will be the daily leader of the Front of House, setting the tone for service, connecting with guests, and developing a staff that consistently delivers memorable experiences. If you’re someone who naturally circulates the room, knows how to read energy, and leads by presence, not position, this is your role.

    Touch tables with purpose, ensuring every guest feels welcomed, valued, and remembered

    Handle guest feedback in real time, turning issues into loyalty-building moments

    Build a strong, positive team culture centered on accountability and pride in service

    Assist in hiring, onboarding, and training new team members

    Continuously elevate staff performance through real-time feedback and development

    Service Execution

    Oversee daily service flow to ensure smooth, efficient operations

    Maintain high standards of service timing, communication, and presentation

    Partner with kitchen leadership to ensure seamless FOH/BOH coordination during service

    Floor Ownership

    Run pre-shift meetings with clarity and energy

    Be the decision-maker during service—own the room

    Identify opportunities to improve the guest experience and implement solutions quickly

    Qualifications:

    Proven experience in a high-volume, hospitality-driven restaurant environment

    Strong leadership presence with the ability to command a room without ego

    Natural ability to connect with guests and build rapport quickly

    Experience training and developing service staff

    Calm under pressure with strong decision-making instincts

    A genuine passion for hospitality and team building

    What Success Looks Like

    Guests feel personally connected to the venue

    Staff are engaged, accountable, and improving

    The dining room runs smoothly, even at peak volume

    You are known by both guests and team as the standard-setter
