  • Set strategy and measurable goals for growth, guest experience, and profitability.

  • Build and manage budgets; control COGS, labour, and operating expenses to maximize EBITDA.

  • Establish clear policies, SOPs, and service standards to ensure consistent execution.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of management experience in fine dining or premium casual, with multi-shift leadership.

  • Proven ability to lead, coach, and hold teams accountable while building a strong culture.

  • A polished, guest-forward presence—comfortable with VIP hosting, media opportunities, and community engagement.

  • Strong financial acumen (budgeting, P&L management, labour planning, inventory controls).

  • Excellent communication and guest recovery skills; poised under pressure.

  • Highly organized, detail-driven, and adaptable to a fast-paced, evolving environment.

  • Solid analytical and reporting capability (POS reports, KPI dashboards).

  • Collaborative, ego-free team player with professionalism and integrity.

Nice to Have

  • Food Safety and alcohol service certifications; OHS familiarity.

  • Experience with reservation, POS, and scheduling platforms.
