About Us
We’re a chef-driven, upscale casual restaurant group known for seasonal menus, scratch kitchens, and hospitality that actually means something. Our teams are tight, creative, and serious about doing things the right way — from guest experience to training to beverage programs. If you’re passionate about hospitality and leadership, you’ll fit right in.
The Role
We’re hiring a Service and Bar Manager for our Yardley, PA location. You’ll lead service, own the bar program, develop the team, and drive execution alongside the General Manager. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for a leader who loves being on the floor and behind the bar — with direct impact on the guest experience, the culture, and the numbers.
What You’ll Do
- Lead daily front-of-house operations and floor execution for lunch + dinner service
- Own and elevate the bar program — cocktails, wine, beer, training, consistency, and inventory
- Train, coach, and inspire a team of 15-25 servers, bartenders, and hosts in a high-volume environment
- Own scheduling, labor costs, and guest recovery — know your service standards and P&L drivers
- Collaborate on seasonal cocktails, specials, and promotions that drive sales and guest loyalty
- Uphold exceptional standards for cleanliness, service, and hospitality
- Jump in wherever needed — we’re all hands on deck during service
What You Bring
- 2+ years as a FOH / Service & Bar Manager or 3+ years as a strong Supervisor/AGM in full-service, high-volume restaurants
- Real passion and knowledge for craft cocktails, wine, and bar operations
- Poise under pressure, strong communication skills, and ability to lead by example
- Working knowledge of POS systems, scheduling, inventory, and labor management
- RAMP/ServSafe Alcohol certification preferred; passion for hospitality required
- Nights, weekends, and holidays — it’s restaurants, but we protect work-life balance where we can
What We Offer
- Salary: $60,000–$70,000 based on experience, plus bonus potential
- Benefits: Health, dental, vision, PTO, and meal perks
- Growth: Real advancement potential — we promote from within and our Service and Bar Managers move up to GM roles
- Culture: Supportive leadership, creative freedom on service and bar initiatives, and a team that has your back
