Assistant General Manager Tailors Table | Bethlehem, PA

•

OPENING WINTER 2026

•About Tailors Table Tailors Table is a new elevated, chef-driven dining concept built around the idea of craftsmanship — where food, hospitality, and the guest experience are thoughtfully tailored to each guest. The concept combines an upscale-casual atmosphere with elevated food, a strong beverage program, and genuine, approachable hospitality. Tailors Table is designed to feel polished without feeling pretentious — a place where guests can come for a special occasion, a business dinner, a date night, or simply a great meal and leave feeling genuinely taken care of. Every detail matters at Tailors Table, from the food and beverage experience to the service, atmosphere, and way we connect with our guests. As a new concept , we have the unique opportunity to build our culture and operational standards from the ground up. We are looking for leaders who want to be part of that process and take pride in helping create something that will become a destination within the community.
