    Position Overview

    This role is designed to support operations during slower and off-peak shifts. The Restaurant Supervisor is responsible for maintaining service standards, keeping staff accountable, and handling day-to-day issues when volume does not require full management coverage.

    This is a hands-on, working role—not a full-time manager position. The focus is consistency, awareness, and keeping shifts clean and controlled.

    Core Responsibilities

    Shift Support & Floor Oversight

    Oversee front-of-house operations during slower service periods

    Maintain service flow, pacing, and overall guest experience

    Identify and address issues early to prevent escalation

    Step into service roles as needed to support the team

    Maintain awareness of changing volume and adjust staffing focus, pacing, and support in real time as business levels increase

    Team Accountability

    Ensure servers, bartenders, and support staff are following standards

    Provide real-time coaching and direction during shifts

    Reinforce side work completion, cleanliness, and organization

    Address minor performance issues and escalate when necessary

    Guest Experience

    Handle guest concerns quickly and professionally

    Maintain a visible presence on the floor through table touches

    Ensure consistent service across all sections

    Operational Standards

    Support opening and closing procedures

    Maintain cleanliness and readiness of all front-of-house areas

    Ensure compliance with alcohol service and safety standards

    Role Scope

    Primarily scheduled for slower, off-peak shifts (Mon–Thurs and non-peak hours)

    Not responsible for leading high-volume or peak shifts unless directed

    Acts as a support layer to management—not a replacement for it

    Role Flexibility

    May be scheduled in tipped positions (server, expo, or bar support) based on business needs

    May transition into a service role during a shift only at management direction or to cover a staffing gap

    When assigned to a tipped role, compensation and responsibilities will align with that position

    Expectations

    Cannot self-assign into tipped roles

    Cannot take sections or shifts from scheduled staff

    Must prioritize supervisory responsibilities unless reassigned

    Must communicate clearly with management when issues arise

    Must be able to quickly transition from a slower-paced environment to a high-volume mindset and take control of the shift when needed. “Slow” shifts are not passive—Supervisor is expected to stay engaged and prepared for immediate changes in volume

    Qualifications

    1–2 years of restaurant experience (lead or key shift experience preferred)

    Ability to stay organized and composed in a fast-paced environment

    Strong communication and basic leadership skills

    Willingness to be hands-on and support the team as needed

    Compensation & Schedule

    $17–$19/hour, based on experience

    Opportunity to pick up tipped shifts when scheduled

    Part-time or full-time depending on availability

    Nights and weekends required, with focus on off-peak coverage
