Floor Manager

Floor Manager | Established Italian Restaurant | Venice, CA
Presented by EHS Recruiting

EHS Recruiting is helping one of its legendary restaurant clients find their next front-of-house leader.

This is a rare opportunity to join a well-established, highly respected Italian neighborhood restaurant in Venice with a strong reputation, a loyal following, and a hospitality-first culture. The restaurant has been a part of the Los Angeles dining scene for more than a decade and continues to be known for warm service, excellent food, a thoughtful beverage program, and a team that takes pride in the guest experience.

We are looking for a Floor Manager who is ready to take the next step in their career. This is a great fit for a top-performing lead bartender, captain, head server, or shift leader who is ready to move into management with real mentorship, hands-on training, and a clear growth path.

The Floor Manager will be a visible, hands-on leader during service. This is not an admin-heavy management role. You will be on the floor, leading the team in real time, supporting service execution, creating memorable guest experiences, and helping the General Manager keep the restaurant running smoothly.

You will learn the business from the inside out, including team leadership, service standards, scheduling support, inventory, guest recovery, training, and basic operational systems. This is an ideal role for someone who wants to grow into a stronger restaurant leader, with the potential to progress to AGM and beyond.
