Davis’ Pub is not some corporate chain restaurant with scripted conversations and managers hiding in offices.

We’re a legendary neighborhood pub in Eastport Annapolis with strong regulars, a fast-paced atmosphere, a ton of personality, and a team that works hard, laughs hard, and takes pride in what we do.

We’re looking for a true hospitality-minded Shift Manager who can run a busy shift, lead a team, connect with guests, and keep the wheels turning when things get crazy.

This job is for someone who actually enjoys the restaurant business — the energy, the pressure, the people, the late nights, and the organized chaos that comes with running a busy local spot.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Running strong shifts from open to close
• Leading both front and back of house teams
• Supporting staff while holding people accountable
• Handling customer situations professionally and confidently
• Keeping service moving efficiently during busy nights
• Helping maintain inventory and operational standards
• Jumping in wherever needed to help the team succeed
• Communicating important issues directly to ownership and upper management
• Creating a positive atmosphere for both guests and staff

What We’re Looking For

• Open availability including nights, weekends, and holidays
• Ability to work late nights until 2 AM
• Someone dependable, confident, and mentally tough under pressure
• A strong personality with great people skills
• Ability to lead a team without acting like a dictator
• Comfortable making difficult decisions and enforcing policies when necessary
• Strong multitasking and organizational skills
• Hospitality management experience preferred
• Basic knowledge of Windows, Excel, email, POS systems, and restaurant operations
• Ability to lift 40+ pounds
• Food Handler Certification and alcohol certification are preferred and considered a strong bonus

The Right Person For This Job… Can talk to regulars, calm down difficult guests, motivate a slammed staff, solve problems on the fly, and still keep the energy positive.

You need to be able to command respect without screaming, stay calm when things get chaotic, and understand that leadership in hospitality means being willing to jump in and do whatever the shift needs.

MUST HAVE OPEN AVAILABILITY ON FRI, SAT, SUN (This does not mean you will work all 3 days in a row)

This is not an “easy” management position. But it is a rewarding one.

If you’re passionate about hospitality, love neighborhood bar culture, and want to be part of a place with real personality and community roots — we’d love to meet you.
