Restaurant Manager

Job Description

Let’s be clear — this is not your grandfather’s steakhouse. Granted, there is no shortage of shrimp cocktail, wedge salad or creamed spinach. But Braven, led by Canada’s award-winning Chef Anthony Walsh, is a new breed of steakhouse — a force to be reckoned with. Merging unfussy, old-school sensibilities with modern grace and style.

Core Values:

• You are passionate and articulate about food and beverage 
• You value relentless innovation and kick-ass creativity
• You value positivity, honesty and respect 
• You aim to leave lasting, positive impressions on every guest through intelligent, enthusiastic and emotional service.
• You celebrate diversity and recognize that we are strongest when we apply the sum of our personal energies, our collective genius

The Day to Day:

• You're a leader who enjoys creating a culture that revolves around the experience and enjoyment of food and wine.
• You contribute, alongside your fellow management team, to all aspects of the restaurant including recruitment, training, coaching, payroll, invoicing, ordering, conducting inventories, scheduling, overall productivity of the restaurant, and leading Health & Safety meetings.
• You oversee the bar and beverage program, ensuring exceptional quality, consistency, profitability, and execution across all beverage offerings.
• You develop and maintain high service standards while creating memorable guest experiences through an innovative and well-executed beverage program.
• You curate creative cocktail menus, introduce new products, and stay informed on emerging beverage and cocktail trends to keep the program fresh and relevant.
• You build and maintain strong supplier relationships to secure the best products, pricing, and overall value for the business.
• You bring a strong knowledge of wine, spirits, beer, and cocktails to the role. A WSET Intermediate Wine Certificate is considered a strong asset.
• You strive to build and maintain relationships with guests, team members, suppliers, and senior management alike.
• You communicate Braven's vision to all team members and lead by example.
• You're proud of where you work, demonstrate high personal integrity and business ethics, and take every opportunity to promote the venue.
• You're a team player and assist with additional duties as assigned or required.
