Front of House Manager

FRONT OF HOUSE RESTAURANT MANAGER

The Foundry | Pompano Beach, FL

Experienced Restaurant Leaders Only

The Foundry is seeking an experienced, hands-on Front of House Restaurant Manager to join our management team.

We are a busy, upscale-casual restaurant in Pompano Beach with a strong local following, high-volume Happy Hours, weekend brunch, dinner service, private events, and a full-service bar.

This is not an entry-level management position.

We are looking for a confident restaurant professional who knows how to take control of a floor, lead a team, maintain service standards, and create an exceptional guest experience.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

The ideal candidate has:

• 5+ years of restaurant/hospitality management experience
• Experience in a high-volume, full-service restaurant
• Strong FOH leadership and floor-management skills
• Experience managing servers, bartenders, hosts, bussers, and support staff
• Strong knowledge of restaurant service and bar operations
• Ability to coach, train, motivate, and hold employees accountable
• Experience with scheduling, labor management, opening and closing procedures
• Strong guest-recovery and problem-solving skills
• Understanding of food and beverage costs and restaurant profitability
• Excellent communication and organizational skills
• Ability to remain calm, professional, and decisive during high-volume service
• Toast POS experience strongly preferred
• Open availability, including nights, weekends, and holidays

WHAT YOU'LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR

As a FOH Manager, you will be actively involved in daily restaurant operations. This is a hands-on floor position, not an office-management role.

Responsibilities include:

• Leading FOH operations during brunch, dinner, Happy Hour, and special events
• Managing the floor and maintaining proper guest flow
• Ensuring tables are greeted promptly and service standards are consistently followed
• Coaching and developing FOH employees
• Conducting pre-shift meetings and communicating daily expectations
• Monitoring employee performance and holding the team accountable
• Managing staffing levels and controlling labor
• Handling guest concerns professionally and effectively
• Working closely with the kitchen and management team to ensure smooth service
• Overseeing opening and closing procedures
• Maintaining restaurant cleanliness, organization, and presentation
• Assisting with hiring, training, and employee development
• Ensuring POS procedures, cash handling, comps, and voids are handled correctly
• Supporting private parties and restaurant events

WHO WILL SUCCEED HERE

We're looking for someone who naturally notices what needs to be done and takes action without waiting to be asked.

You should be comfortable stepping onto a busy floor, directing a team, talking with guests, solving problems, helping wherever necessary, and maintaining high standards throughout the shift.

The right person is:

Professional. Organized. Accountable. Guest-focused. Hands-on. Detail-oriented.

Most importantly, you should enjoy leading people and running restaurants.
