Service Manager, June's All Day - Austin

Description

About June's

June's All Day is a neighborhood cafe and bar on bustling South Congress Avenue. We serve breakfast, brunch and all-day bistro dishes from morning coffee and pastries until late in the evening, complemented by a frequently changing wine and bar program.

Inside, a long marble bar, cozy banquette seating and a vintage jukebox set the mood; outside, our dog-friendly patio is made for people watching. It's lively, warm and a little bit Parisian, and every guest should leave with a memorable experience and a reason to come back.

The Role

The Service Manager runs the front of house during service and owns the guest experience from door to check. You'll lead servers, bartenders, hosts, bussers and food runners on the floor, and work alongside the General Manager on hiring, training, scheduling and standards.

This is a hands-on role. On a busy service you'll be touching tables, running food, jumping behind the host stand and solving problems before guests notice them. You will report to the General Manager.

• •Lead pre-shift meetings covering specials, wine and bar changes, VIPs, large parties and service focus points.
• •Manage the flow of the room with the host team: reservations, waitlist, table turns, patio and bar seating.
• •Check in on tables, handle guest feedback in the moment and turn problems into return visits.
