Restaurant Manager

Not everyone can run a restaurant.

The right person can make it impossible to forget.

At JA The Resort, were not looking for someone to manage schedules and oversee service.

Were looking for someone who walks into a restaurant and changes the energy of the room.

Someone whose team wants to perform. Someone guests remember. Someone who knows that a packed restaurant, a challenging service, and high expectations are where the magic happens.

THIS IS YOUR STAGE IF YOU...

· Lead from the floor, not the office

· Thrive when the restaurant is full and the pressure is on

· Build teams that deliver exceptional experiences, not just service

· Understand the balance between guest satisfaction and commercial success

· Know how to turn first-time diners into returning guests

· Set standards others naturally follow

· Strong knowledge of restaurant operations, menu engineering, food cost control, and inventory management

· Experience leading and developing multicultural teams

· Proven success in driving promotions, new concepts, and business performance

· Excellent food and beverage knowledge, including wine service

· Strong commercial awareness and financial understanding
