  • Review sales, labour, service, and cost reports and modify procedures, staffing practices, or menu pricing to improve performance.
  • Resolve escalated guest complaints, service failures, and operational issues, and ensure compliance with food safety, sanitation, and workplace health standards.
  • Coordinate and negotiate supply arrangements, delivery schedules, and purchasing terms with approved food and operational vendors.
  • Lead operational planning for promotions, large-volume orders, and catering-style service requirements, including staffing and execution readiness.

  • Strong working knowledge of dine-in, take-out, catering, and third-party delivery coordination, including order flow and service issue resolution, is required.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage simultaneous service operations, respond to peak-period demand, and make real-time decisions affecting staffing, workflow, and guest service outcomes is required.
  • Experience using POS systems, labour reporting tools, and inventory management systems.
