The Company
Our client is a well-established Vancouver hospitality group behind a collection of highly regarded restaurant concepts known for thoughtful design, elevated service, and memorable guest experiences.
With a strong reputation in the local market and a growing portfolio of premium dining venues, the organization has built its success on a simple but powerful formula: great food, genuine hospitality, and service delivered with consistency, care, and intention.
The Opportunity
This is a role for someone who wants to do more than run shifts. As Restaurant Manager, you’ll be a visible leader on the floor, a trusted partner to the General Manager, and a key driver of the guest experience.
You’ll lead front-of-house operations, support and coach the team in real time, and help ensure every guest interaction reflects the restaurant’s service standards. This is an ideal opportunity for a hands-on hospitality leader who thrives in a fast-paced environment, loves developing people, and understands how strong service execution drives both guest loyalty and business performance.

Lead daily front-of-house operations during lunch, dinner, and peak service periods
Coach, train, and support servers, bartenders, and support staff to elevate service standards
Foster a collaborative, accountable, service-first team culture
Provide ongoing performance feedback, coaching, and leadership on the floor
Guest Experience & Floor Execution
Deliver consistently exceptional guest experiences aligned with brand standards
Actively engage with guests throughout service, including VIPs and regulars
Handle guest concerns and service recovery with professionalism and urgency
Monitor service flow, pacing, table turns, and overall guest satisfaction
Ensure smooth coordination between front-of-house and back-of-house teams
Operational & Financial Support
Execute opening, mid-shift, and closing procedures with consistency
Support labour management, sales pacing, and shift-level cost controls
Assist with inventory, ordering, cash handling, and end-of-day reporting
Maintain a safe, organized, and professional operating environment
What You Bring
2–4+ years of leadership experience in a full-service, upscale casual, or boutique restaurant environment
Proven ability to lead shifts and manage day-to-day restaurant operations
Strong service instincts and a track record of delivering exceptional guest experiences
Experience with guest recovery, team coaching, and floor leadership in busy service environments
Familiarity with POS systems, scheduling tools, inventory processes, and basic reporting
A calm, hands-on, solutions-oriented leadership style
Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, and holidays
Why This Role
This is an opportunity to step into a highly visible leadership role where your impact is felt every day - on the floor, with the team, and in the overall guest experience.
You’ll join a respected hospitality organization with an established reputation, strong leadership infrastructure, and genuine opportunity for long-term growth. For someone who takes pride in service, team development, and operational excellence, it’s a chance to build a meaningful hospitality career in one of Vancouver’s most respected restaurant groups.

Outlier's Process
1
Apply
Submit your application through our online portal. A real human reviews every resume - no automated AI filtering here. We assess your experience, background, and alignment with current opportunities. If there’s a strong match, we’ll be in touch with next steps. If not, we keep your profile on file for future roles that may be a better fit. Depending on the scope of the search, Outlier may continue to manage the process end-to-end, or the client may take the lead directly from this point forward. In either case, we ensure a clear handoff and will let you know exactly what to expect next.
2
Outlier Interview
If your background aligns with what our client is looking for, we’ll schedule a live interview. This 30–45 minute conversation is designed to go beyond your resume. We’ll dig into your skills and experience, but more importantly, we want to hear your story - what motivates you, what you’re looking for next, and what makes you stand out. We also use this conversation to discuss compensation expectations upfront, ensuring alignment early and avoiding surprises later in the process.
3
Candidate Submission
Once we’ve met and confirmed alignment, shortlisted candidates are presented to our client. If selected to move forward, you’ll be asked to complete a short (10–15 minute) online assessment. This helps the client better understand your values, motivation, and work style, and supports a more thoughtful, well-rounded hiring decision.

Client Interviews and Beyond
Once candidates move forward, our clients review a well-rounded view of your profile — including your experience, our interview perspective, and assessment insights. From there, they identify who they’d like to meet directly. We act as an advocate and connector throughout, ensuring your strengths are clearly represented and that you’re supported with preparation, context, and timely feedback at every step. For finalist candidates, we further manage background checks, facilitate offers, and support on-boarding, providing support and acting as your coach right until the end.
