Buttermilk & Bourbon – Service Manager

Full-Time | Hospitality-Driven | High-Volume Southern Concept

Buttermilk & Bourbon is looking for a strong, people-first Floor Manager to help lead our front-of-house team and deliver the energetic, polished-yet-playful hospitality the brand is known for. This role demands leadership, urgency, accountability, and the ability to maintain standards in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.

What You’ll Do

  • Drive the guest experience from the floor—greeting, reading the room, and maintaining service pace and flow.
  • Lead, coach, and motivate FOH staff each shift; set the tone for professionalism, hospitality, and teamwork.
  • Enforce service standards, steps of service, and cleanliness expectations across dining rooms, bar areas, and service stations.
  • Support opening/closing procedures, sidework execution, table touches, and continuous quality checks.
  • Communicate 86s, daily priorities, and service expectations to staff and BOH clearly and proactively.
  • Resolve guest concerns with tact, urgency, and ownership—turning issues into recoveries.
  • Monitor labor efficiency and help the MOD team manage pacing, seating, and ticket times.
  • Collaborate with the Events Manager and execute onsite needs for private/semi-private events.
  • Uphold safety, compliance, and ServSafe standards.
  • Support training for new hires and ongoing staff development.

What We’re Looking For

  • 1–2+ years of restaurant leadership experience in a full-service, high-volume environment.
  • Strong floor presence: assertive, calm under pressure, and comfortable making decisions quickly.
  • A hospitality-first mindset paired with operational discipline and attention to detail.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to manage diverse teams.
  • Ability to hold staff accountable while fostering a culture of respect and teamwork.
  • Someone who understands that consistency is king—systems matter, standards matter, follow-through matters.
  • Availability nights, weekends, and holidays as needed.
