Front of House Manager

Lantern
Yorktown, VA Full Time
POSTED ON 4/14/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 6/12/2026

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.

Pay: From $46,000.00 per year

Work Location: In person

Salary : $45,000 - $46,000
