- Strong knowledge of European cuisine/service styles or passion for upscale casual dining is a plus.
- Proven ability to lead teams in a fast-paced, exciting environment while maintaining composure under pressure.
- Excellent communication, problem-solving, and guest service skills.
- Proficiency with POS systems, reservation platforms, and basic scheduling tools.
- Availability to work evenings, weekends, and holidays as required.
