Restaurant Manager (m/f/d)
Restaurant Manager (m/f/d)
all year round
Österreich, Salzburg
Description
You’re the host, the leader, and the person who keeps everything running smoothly in the restaurant. Together with your team, you ensure that great service turns into authentic Forsthofalm moments—personal, professional, and full of character.
You lead and develop our restaurant and bar team, organize daily operations, and ensure that our quality and service standards are upheld. Through daily power briefings, training sessions, and your presence on the floor, you provide your team with direction and create a work environment where collaboration and personal responsibility thrive.
In doing so, you yourself act as a host: You are attentive to our guests, anticipate their needs, find effective solutions to complaints, and maintain your composure and a clear overview even on busy evenings.
In addition to the guest experience, you also keep an eye on the business side of things. You manage staff scheduling, encourage authentic upselling, handle inventory orders, and work with us to further develop our wine, bar, and beverage menus. In doing so, you’ll collaborate closely with the kitchen, front desk, and management.
And when it counts, you roll up your sleeves and pitch in—whether on the floor or at the bar.
