What are the responsibilities and job description for the Assistant General Manager position at Sqirl?
Sqirl is growing with dinner service!
With dinner on the horizon that includes the addition of a high level wine service we are looking to add an Assistant General Manager to our team who has strong experience in elevated dinner service. Currently, with only AM, you would train with our current management team in order to understand the flow and intricacies of the restaurant and then the shift would likely sit in between the two services in order to be an ear of support to the floor managers.
You will then shift to Apero Hour and then dinner service. If you are a Somm or have an extensive wine background, this is a considerable plus.
Please apply if you have a Dinner Service background with a focus on steps of service and experience in a producer driven wine environment.
This is an opportunity to shape the culture and steps of service for dinner at an established restaurant that cares about the wholistic vision of the hospitality industry from our farmers to our team members.
Producer Driven Natural Wine knowledge / background a plus!
Looking forwarding to hearing from you!
