Five day work week | Two consecutive days off every week | Paid vacation after one year

 Assistant Manager for a fine dining Restaurant

We are looking for an industry professional who will be an asset to our award winning team. This person will have to have had considerable experience in fine dining as a manager.

Knowledge of fine food and wines will be a must. Full bar beverage service knowledge is also a prerequisite for this position. We are looking for a manager who has had experience managing a dining room where the seating of the guest is a critical part of the experience. Handling special requests and overseeing a team of professional servers is part of the day to day duties.

As the assistant to the General Manager your duties will be as follows.

Manage a 35 table dining room, 30 seat bar and private party room that seats 40 guests. Greet and seat the guests. Oversee service in the dining rooms and the bar. The dining room is open for dinner every day of the year. Prior to dinner service your duties will include but will not be limited to the following tasks.

I am in the process of building a new website site that includes social media modules. This job includes the managing of the site so knowledge of social media and computer literacy is a requisite. I will continue to have a webmaster; however the new site is designed so that we can update it ourselves. Menus changes, news clips, video, reviews and all the social media information that goes with it. You will have to have a strong knowledge of how all of this works. Marketing and promoting plays an important role here.

Assist in maintaining a perpetual inventory in the bar. Keep track of glassware, china and other equipment needs. Update ever changing menus. Maintain all side-work lists and housekeeping duties of the dishwashers. Maintain employee records so that evaluations can be conducted every year. Write a manager log for ownership every night. Be an active part of the management team that includes Chef/ Owner, General Manager and Chef des Cuisine. To become an active part of our team you will bring to the table, your passion for being in this business as well as your experience and ideas. You will have the opportunity to play a major role in the continuing success of this restaurant. We have many plans for expansion in the year ahead.

 While we are well established and profitable we have not yet reached our full potential. This year will see the hotel complete its room renovations which will bring us up to 52 rooms and suites. This is a great position for someone who truly wants to become part of a fine restaurant where they can be excited about going in to work every day. I also want to say that I do not ever expect anyone to work more than a five day 50 hour work week. To be the best manager in this business you must have balance in your life. The old days of working 80 hours a week have no place in my restaurant.

Five day work week.  

PM shifts - 1.00 pm to 11.00pm. 

AM shifts are 7.00pm to 5.00pm. 

Two consecutive days off every week. 

Paid vacation after one year. 

The salary will be commensurate with like positions in other fine dining operations of this size in the state of Arizona.
