We are seeking an Assistant General Manager to lead our FOH team. An ideal candidate will have at least one year's experience in a management role, be passionate about (preferably Italian) food and beverages, and be a great communicator.

We are always striving to make our game a little stronger, and we are looking to add someone to our team to help us on that journey.
