  • During lunch service, you’ll be responsible for providing prompt service. In doing so, you’ll optimally fulfill guest requests and meet sales targets.
  • During dinner service, your focus is on providing exceptional service: you’ll attend to guests on half-board and à la carte menus, tailoring your approach to both them and the dishes.
  • You ensure optimal restaurant performance by using both resources and time efficiently and cost-effectively.
  • You will assume leadership responsibility for the Demi Chef de Rang and Commis de Rang reporting to you and train them according to the Sonnenburg manual.

  • speak German, English, and/or other languages fluently.

  • Provide courteous service to guests, fulfill special requests, and forward them to the appropriate department.
  • create a pleasant working atmosphere, treat people with respect, and work as part of a team.

It’s a plus if you have leadership experience or have previously worked in restaurants offering upscale service.
