Punctuality.

Professionalism - this is a place of work and a reflection of every member of the team. We are here to work, create an experience for our guests, and support, protect, and encourage our team. 

Leadership - a Manager and assistant manager role is a figure you team can look up to and aspire to be. Your team will raise to the bar and standards that you set. Your goal is not to be a friend or drinking buddy to your staff, but a leader, an example of professionalism, and a mentor. It is important that that separation is respected and maintained for strong leadership.

Humility - we proudly operate a kind hospitality team, inflated egos or elitist / hierarchy mindsets are not welcome. Hospitality takes the entire team, from DO to Dishwasher to make a powerful operation.

Evolution - We are big believers in promoting from within, recognizing talent and integrity, and we pride ourselves in investing in team members that stand out. We have had busers become head bartenders, servers become Assistant Managers and Assistant Managers become GMs. We firmly believe in nurturing work ethic and sincerity. 

We are looking for someone to be able to make impactful decisions on their own, with the experience to run a room or a restaurant, and make smart decisions without having to rely on ownership. You will oversee all aspects of the floor, including and not limited to, greeting guests, assisting FOH staff, assisting guests and partially overseeing the kitchen.
