AGM

Assistant General Manager – Front of House

Warszawa (formerly Solidarity) — Santa Monica

A 46-year Santa Monica institution on Lincoln Blvd is being reborn as

Warszawa — a Polish gastropub with a full bar and two outdoor spaces, the

Yard and the Garden. New ownership, a new chapter, a kitchen and bar team

already in place, and a steady flow of private-event inquiries coming in the

door. We're hiring an Assistant General Manager to run the front of house —

the owner's right hand on the floor — to build the service operation and lead

it, with a clear path to General Manager.

This isn't a maintenance job. You'll set up our service systems, standards,

and training from the ground up, build and lead the floor team, own the guest

experience, and help launch the room for our relaunch — then run it day to

day. If you've wanted to put your stamp on a place with real history and real

upside, this is the seat.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Build and own our service systems, standards, scheduling, and training from scratch

- Run a warm, high-energy floor; own the guest experience and the floor numbers (labor, covers, comps)

- Hire, train, develop, and mentor the service team into strong hospitality pros

- Partner with the chef and bar lead to run smooth, busy service across the dining room, the Yard, and the Garden

- Help convert our steady event inquiries into booked business — with extra pay on the events you book and run

WHO YOU ARE

- A seasoned floor leader with calm command of a busy room, at or ready for AGM level

- A proven people-developer who leads with warmth and a firm standard

- A builder — you've opened or turned around a place and set up operations, not just worked inside someone else's

- Numbers-disciplined, trustworthy, and able to run the floor without the owner in the building

- Collaborative and ego-light — you make the kitchen and bar better, not territorial

- Comfortable on our systems: Toast (POS), OpenTable (reservations), and 7shifts (scheduling)

- Bilingual and Westside roots a plus

COMPENSATION & DETAILS

- 70,000–80,000 salary, plus extra earnings on the events you book and run

- Clear path to General Manager

- Paid time off and shift meal

- 5-day week, ~45–50 hours, weighted to evenings and weekends

- Pre-relaunch start so you build the floor and own the opening
