The candidate should be proficient with Microsoft Office, point-of-sale systems, and standard restaurant equipment while demonstrating an ability to manage staff, guest interactions, and high volume service environments. The role requires the physical ability to stand for long periods, lift up to 50 pounds, move quickly to meet guest needs, and work a flexible schedule including days, nights, weekends, and holidays.
