Coach employees on product knowledge, suggestive selling, steps of service, and guest engagement. Manage employee performance through clear expectations, ongoing feedback, recognition, and accountability. Oversee scheduling and staffing levels to ensure appropriate coverage during peak business periods. Partner closely with the culinary and sushi teams to maintain exceptional food quality, consistency, timing, and presentation. Handle guest inquiries, concerns, and feedback with professionalism, discretion, and a strong focus on service recovery. Develop and implement strategies that strengthen guest loyalty, increase sales, and enhance the restaurant's reputation within the community.. Monitor labor, food, beverage, and operating costs while identifying opportunities to improve efficiency. Ensure full compliance with health, sanitation, food-safety, and workplace regulations. Conduct regular team meetings, pre-shift lineups, training sessions, and performance reviews. Lead by example through a visible, energetic, and engaged presence on the restaurant floor. Take ownership of elevating the location, refining its service culture, and positioning it as a premier seafood and sushi destination. Qualifications Previous leadership experience in the restaurant or hospitality industry, preferably as an Assistant General Manager or General Manager.
