Nicky's Coal Fired
Nashville, TN Full Time
POSTED ON 9/1/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 9/30/2026

Nicky’s Coal Fired is looking for a friendly, professional, organized, and hospitality-driven Event Captain to join our team as we head into our busy private event season.

This is a hands on leadership role for someone who loves taking care of people, knows how to keep a team organized, and can confidently run an event from setup through the final guest leaving.

What you’ll do:

-Work closely with our event planning team to execute private parties and events
-Manage all day of event details, including room setup and breakdown
-Serve as the primary point of contact for event hosts and ensure every detail is handled with care
-Lead and manage hourly event staff, keeping the team on task and maintaining excellent service standards
-Set the tone for warm, attentive, genuine hospitality
-Coordinate with our chef and kitchen team to oversee the timing and execution of food service
-Troubleshoot in the moment and keep events running smoothly from start to finish

Someone who is organized, confident, proactive, and a natural leader. Previous restaurant, catering, event, or hospitality management experience is strongly preferred. Most importantly, you should genuinely enjoy taking care of guests and know how to lead a team by example.

We typically host 3-5 private events per week, depending on the week. We're entering our busiest party season and anticipate approximately 40 hours per week. If you're looking for a consistent full-time schedule, additional FOH shifts can be available during slower event weeks.

Compensation: $25/hour 1% of event sales
Benefits: Health benefits program & paid time off

Our team is friendly, kind, and inclusive, and so is the right person for this job!

If you're an experienced hospitality professional who loves the energy of events and takes pride in making hospitality feel effortless for the host, we'd love to meet you!
