What are the responsibilities and job description for the Front of House Manager position at Lantern?
We are a coffee lounge and seasonal dining concept focused on refined, intentional service. We are building something that feels elevated without being pretentious; clean, thoughtful, and detail driven from the moment a guest walks in.
This is not a typical restaurant job. We care about how things feel, not just how they function.
We are looking for a talented Front of House Supervisor / Dining Room Lead to help run service and grow into a leadership role as we scale.
What You’ll Do
- Lead nightly service and control the flow of the dining room
- Set the tone for guest experience from greeting to final touch
- Support, coach, and hold servers accountable to standards
- Assist with training new hires in Lantern’s service style
- Handle guest issues calmly, professionally, and without ego
- Communicate clearly with the kitchen to keep service smooth
- Maintain a clean, organized, and intentional dining room at all times
What We’re Looking For
- Strong presence; guests and staff feel you when you’re on the floor
- High standards; you notice details others ignore
- Calm under pressure; you don’t spiral when things get busy
- Team-first mindset; no ego, no drama
- Willingness to learn and grow into a higher-level leadership role
- Previous serving or leadership experience required
What This Role Is (and Isn’t)
This is a hands-on leadership role.
You will be on the floor, in service, leading by example.
You will not be left alone to figure everything out; but you will be expected to step up and take ownership as you grow.
Compensation
- $45,000 salary
- Performance based bonus opportunities
- Growth path into a higher level management position as the company expands
We are building something from the ground up with intention.
If you want to be part of a team that actually cares about the details and wants to do things at a high level this is that place.
