_________________________________________________________________________

At Imperfecto we believe that human beings are not perfect. We are far from perfect. We are Imperfect. And imperfection is what moves us forward and shows us how to improve.

The restaurant design is inspired by Greek culture. The oldest definition of "perfection" goes back to Aristotle who defined the concept in three parts: that which is complete; that which is so good that nothing of the kind could be better; that which has attained its purpose.

At Imperfecto, we know that a restaurant space is not complete if it’s not filled with people; that we will try our best to maintain the highest levels of creativity, flavors and service; that we will always pursue our purpose of bringing magical culinary experiences to our guests.

 

As a member of the management team, the Imperfecto General Manager is a highly visible role with the leadership committee, and the face of our vision and experiences. This position reports to the Chef Director of Imperfecto and also the Director of Operations.

  • Exercise quality control for both food and beverage at Imperfecto
  • Maintaining standards of service and ensure their implementation
  • Performing daily walkthrough to ensure full compliance with Department of Health regulations
  • Maintain communications with the Director of Operations
  • Coach and counsel colleagues to reflect Imperfecto service standards and procedures

Imperfecto colleagues work in an environment that demands exceptional performance and, simulteaneously, reap great rewards. Whether it's career opportunities, job enrichment, or a supportive work environment, if you are ready for this challenge, then we are ready for you.
