One day you may be helping organize staff schedules and onboarding documents; another may involve coordinating a large reservation, responding to guest inquiries, preparing information for a management meeting, following up with a vendor, or helping the team prepare for a busy service.

You will also spend time on the restaurant floor supporting the guest experience and learning how the operation functions.

This is an ideal position for someone who is organized, proactive, dependable, comfortable with technology, and interested in developing a career in hospitality management.
