Fine Dining FOH Manager

Devillier Hospitality Group is looking for an FOH Manager to help lead our front-of-house team from the ground up, working alongside an experienced ownership group with a proven track record.

Our Values
Devillier Hospitality Group's work is guided by four core values: Hospitality, Craft, Integrity, and Growth. These values shape how we treat people, how we do the work, how we carry ourselves, and how we evolve — in every restaurant, every shift.

Our Mission
DHG's mission is to welcome every guest, and every teammate, like family — through honest Italian American cooking, genuine hospitality, and a space that feels both lived-in and loved. We do this through food rooted in heritage and elevated through craft, service that is warm and attentive without pretension, and a team that shows up with pride, intention, and care — every shift.

The Role
Great hospitality is built by great leaders, and that's exactly what we're looking for in this role. As FOH Manager of Daughter's, you'll set the tone on the floor — living out our values of Hospitality, Craft, Integrity, and Growth in how you lead, not just what you say. Ownership mentality, steady accountability, and a genuine investment in your team's growth are what make this role work.

You'll partner closely with the GM, Director of Ops and Culinary Director to oversee daily operations, ensuring guest satisfaction, financial performance, and team engagement stay in lockstep. This role supports all front-of-house operations while collaborating across departments to deliver seamless service, uphold operational excellence, and help carry forward the legacy of the historic Upperline space as we write its next chapter. As FOH Manager, you'll be the GM's right hand — running shifts, developing the FOH team, and helping set the operational tone of a brand-new restaurant. This is a hands-on leadership role with real growth potential as we open and grow.

What You'll Do

• Help lead the ongoing development of FOH staff — including coaching, corrective conversations, and fostering morale
• Run opening and closing shifts, ensuring smooth, high-quality service and continuity across transitions
• Personally oversee the dining rooms, stepping in to guide service and uphold standards in real time
• Assist with financial reporting — prime cost, sales tracking, inventory
• Maintain cleanliness and order across the dining rooms, kitchen-adjacent FOH areas, and exterior grounds, consistent with DNI's standards
• Support training sessions and continuing education that reinforce safe work practices and consistent, high-quality service delivery
• Engage with guests regularly, gathering feedback and resolving concerns with warmth and professionalism
• Use guest feedback to continually sharpen service, build repeat visits, and reduce complaints
• Step in for the GM as needed; help build and uphold team culture from day one
• Work cross-functionally with kitchen leadership and DHG's shared support teams

What We're Looking For

• 2 years in a management role at a full-service, fine dining, high-volume restaurant
• College degree preferred (Hotel/Restaurant Management a plus); a strong combination of experience and education will also be considered
• Comfortable with POS, reservations, scheduling, and reporting systems (Toast, OpenTable, 7Shifts, or similar), along with proficiency in Word and Excel
• Strong business acumen and comfort with the numbers side of restaurant management
• Strong leadership instincts — calm under pressure, clear communicator, natural role model
• Genuine hospitality mindset and pride in guest experience
• Sharp organizational skills and a high level of reliability and accountability
• Ability to multi-task, adapt and thrive in a fast-paced, high-energy environment
• Available evenings, weekends, and holidays, with the stamina for long, active shifts (standing for extended periods; occasional lifting up to 25 lbs; reaching, bending, and moving throughout the two-story space)

Joining DHG means becoming part of a team that's passionate about food, heritage, and creating memorable experiences for our guests — and helping shape that story from the very beginning. If our values resonate with you, we'd love for you to apply!
