Front of House Bartender/Shift Lead

Front of House Shift LeadScreen Door is an iconic Portland restaurant built on nearly two decades of warm, genuine hospitality and a loyal clientele that is truly a pleasure to serve. We are looking for a Front of House Shift Lead to join our team.

This is not a desk job. 100% of your time is on the floor, primarily at the door where first impressions are made and guest flow is managed. Our dining room requires ingenuity and thoughtfulness to maximize capacity while maintaining the welcoming, relaxed service style we are known for.

Those functions remain with the General Manager and the Assistant General Manager. This allows you to focus entirely on bartending, service, hospitality, and leading the room.
