Job Description

Join the Leadership Crew at Hamburger Hut

Hamburger Hut , the laid-back, high-energy heart of Leucadia, is looking for a dynamic and organized Front of House (FOH) Manager to lead our crew. We're known for our breezy outdoor vibes, the best smash burgers in town, and a hospitality standard that keeps the good times rolling.

If you're a natural leader who thrives in a fast-paced environment, possesses a sharp eye for detail, and knows how to keep a patio full of happy guests humming, we want you at the helm!

• Drive the Vibe: Oversee daily operations, ensuring our signature sun-soaked, high-energy atmosphere is maintained from open to close.

• Lead the Team: Recruit, train, and mentor a hardworking FOH crew. You'll be the coach on the floor-setting the pace, correcting course in real-time, and fostering a "team-first" culture.

• Elevate Hospitality: Act as the face of the Hut. You'll handle guest relations with grace, turning hiccups into high-fives and ensuring every local feels like a regular.

• Operational Excellence: Manage service, coordinate with the kitchen for seamless "smash burger" flow, and oversee labor costs to keep the business as crisp as our fries.

• Maintain the Standard: Ensure the patio, bar, and dining areas are spotless and compliant with all health, safety, and alcohol service regulations.

• Big Picture Thinking: Assist in inventory management, administrative tasks, and contributing ideas to grow the Hamburger Hut brand within the community.

• Proven Leadership: Previous management experience in a fast-paced, high-volume restaurant or outdoor venue.

• Grace Under Pressure: The ability to stay cool and decisive when the weekend rush hits and the line is out the door.

• The "Leucadia" Spirit: A charismatic, approachable personality that fits our local, beach-town culture.

• Eye for Detail: You notice the small things-a wobbly table, a long ticket time, or a teammate who needs a hand-and you fix them before they become issues.

• Flexibility: A commitment to the grind, including evenings, weekends, and holidays.

• Certifications: Valid RBS certification and a Food Manager card are required.

• Killer Environment: Work in a lively, sun-soaked setting in the heart of Encinitas.

• Growth Opportunities: Be a key player in a fast-growing restaurant group that prioritizes internal promotion and quality hospitality.

• Community Roots: Join a local staple where the staff feels like family and the work environment is genuinely fun.

• Competitive Compensation: Competitive salary/hourly rates based on experience, plus perks.
