Restaurant Manager

Now Hiring: Front of House Shift Manager

Dish Society South First | Full-Time | $20–$23 per hour

Serve food you’re proud of. Make people feel welcome. Build a career.

You notice the parent who needs a high chair before they ask. You enjoy getting to know the regulars. When the restaurant gets busy, you jump in, bring the team together, and keep things moving.

Sound like you? We’d love to meet you.

At Dish Society, we’re a neighborhood café serving thoughtfully sourced food made with intentional ingredients. Knowing what you’re serving and where it comes from gives you something to feel proud of—and something worth sharing with our guests.

We’re also growing, and we’re looking for people who want to grow with us. This hourly leadership role can be a meaningful step toward upper leadership. Show us your work ethic, hospitality, and readiness to take on more, and there’s room to move quickly.

You bring the hospitality. We’ll help you grow as a leader.

We call it “resting smile face”: that naturally optimistic, approachable energy that comes from enjoying people and making them feel welcome.

You read the room, pick up on body language, and notice opportunities to help. Maybe it’s making a first-time guest feel comfortable ordering or recognizing when a teammate needs an extra hand. You understand that small moments shape how people feel about a place.

You’re outgoing, hardworking, and steady when things get busy. You have grit, take initiative, and lead by doing the work alongside your team.

What you’ll do

Your job is to keep shifts running smoothly, support your teammates, and make sure guests leave happy.

• Jump in wherever needed: take orders, run food, make drinks, and help guests.
• Keep the team organized and communication flowing between the front and back of house.
• Read the pace of the shift and adjust team positioning as needs change.
• Coach in the moment with clear direction and encouragement.
• Complete opening and closing procedures and maintain a clean, welcoming restaurant.
• Resolve everyday guest concerns and involve senior leadership when needed.
• Be the go-to leader when senior managers aren’t present.

What you’ll bring

• Prior restaurant or hospitality experience; at least 18 years old.
• A natural enjoyment of serving people and connecting with guests and teammates.
• Reliability, clear communication, and a willingness to work hard.
• Availability for mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays.

This full-time role typically works 40–45 hours per week. Open availability is strongly preferred.

Why Dish Society?

You’ll serve food you can stand behind, build relationships in your neighborhood, enjoy shift meals, and develop your leadership skills in a growing company.

Our values—PRIDE, HOSPITALITY, GROWTH, and CONNECTEDNESS—show up in how we serve, how we work together, and how we help people move forward.

Bring your hospitality and ambition. Let’s see where you can grow with Dish Society.
