At Dēliz, we’re not chasing trends — we’re creating a neighborhood institution that feels as good as it tastes. We’re looking for a Manager who thrives on growth, ownership, and impact - You’re the kind of leader who takes pride in service, leads from the floor, and inspires a team through energy, presence, and precision. We're excited to expand our management team to adjust with the restaurants continued success
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who lives hospitality. You set the tone for the night, coach in real time, and make guests feel like they’ve just walked into their favorite place in the city. You’ll oversee a front-of-house team of 40+, report directly to the General Manager, and help shape what excellence looks like at Dēliz.
We’re looking for a confident, guest-driven operator with 3+ years of management or supervisory experience in high-volume, full-service restaurants. You know how to read a room, balance the flow, and manage both people and performance. You understand the business behind hospitality — labor, sales, and service metrics — and how to bring it all together into a seamless experience.
You’ll use tools like Toast, SevenRooms, and Triple Seat to manage daily operations, labor tracking, and service flow. You’ll open and close the restaurant, lead pre-shifts, run the floor during service, and maintain communication between FOH and BOH. Most importantly, you’ll build a culture that makes excellence look and feel effortless.
Dēliz isn’t a one-off. We’re part of a growing hospitality group — and we’re looking for leaders who want to grow as we expand. If you’re hungry to learn, ready to lead, and driven by building something lasting, this is your moment.

Dēliz was born from a love of bold flavors and that dolce vita state of mind - right in the heart of Bucktown. We’re an Italian steakhouse, but not the stiff kind. Think wood-fired steaks, handmade pasta, late-night cocktails, and a vibe that lingers like good conversation and bad decisions.
Our kitchen runs on fire - literally. Chef, Jake Peterson, and his culinary team work a custom Argentinian-style grill, coaxing flavor out of flame. Pastas are made in-house, seasonal, and unapologetically rich. The drinks? Strong, local, and just photogenic enough to make you pause before the first sip.
We're your neighborhood go-to when you want a sexy night out but don’t feel like fighting for a parking spot downtown. A place that says yes to your whims, keeps the vibe strong, and lets the night unfold.
Designed by a world-class restaurateur, Steve Gogolab, and run by seasoned Chicago hospitality pros, Dēliz isn’t trying to be everything - just the kind of place you come back to without thinking twice. We’re here to feed you right, take care of you, and maybe - just maybe - get you to stay a little longer than you planned.
