We are looking for a Front of House Manager to lead and oversee the daily operations of the front-of-house team in a hospitality setting. This role is crucial in ensuring that guests receive exceptional service from the moment they enter the venue until they leave. The ideal candidate will be a confident leader with excellent communication skills, a passion for customer service, and the ability to manage a team in a fast-paced environment.
As the Front of House Manager, you will be responsible for supervising front desk staff, hosts, servers, and other customer-facing employees.
