The Forager Restaurant at Cliffs Edge Retreat
Bauline South, Newfoundland —
45 minutes from St. John’s
Year-round position
Help Us Create Something Special
The Forager is not an ordinary restaurant—and this is not an ordinary serving position.
Located at Cliffs Edge Retreat on Newfoundland’s Southern Shore, The Forager is part of a growing, year-round tourism destination built around exceptional food, genuine Newfoundland hospitality and unforgettable coastal experiences.
We are looking for an experienced Lead Server / Front-of-House Supervisor who wants to help us build one of Newfoundland’s most memorable dining experiences.
The right person will be an accomplished server, a calm and confident leader, and someone who understands that outstanding hospitality is about far more than delivering food. It is about reading the room, anticipating guests’ needs, supporting the team and making every person feel genuinely welcomed.
The Opportunity
You will take an active leadership role on the dining-room floor while continuing to provide excellent hands-on service. Working closely with our culinary and management teams, you will help establish the standards, consistency and atmosphere that define The Forager.
This is an opportunity for someone who wants to help shape a growing restaurant and tourism destination—not simply step into an established routine.
Your Responsibilities
- Lead the front-of-house team during service
- Deliver polished, warm and attentive guest service
- Set a strong example for servers and support staff
- Coordinate the dining room with the kitchen to maintain smooth service
- Assign sections and oversee opening, closing and side duties
- Train, coach and support front-of-house employees
- Handle guest concerns professionally and confidently
- Maintain high standards for presentation, cleanliness and organization
- Help improve service procedures, team communication and the overall guest experience
- Support special events, retreats, group dinners and tourism experiences
- Develop strong knowledge of our menu, local ingredients, beverages and surrounding destination
Who We Are Looking For
You may be the right person if you:
- Have significant experience as a senior server, lead server, captain or front-of-house supervisor
- Know how to lead a busy service without losing your composure
- Take genuine pride in hospitality and attention to detail
- Communicate clearly and respectfully with guests, coworkers and kitchen staff
- Are comfortable coaching others and holding the team to a high standard
- Can solve problems independently and make sound decisions during service
- Are dependable, organized and willing to take ownership
- Want to contribute ideas and help build something exceptional
- Are available to work evenings, weekends and holidays as required by the hospitality industry
- Have reliable transportation to Bauline South
Experience in a destination restaurant, boutique hotel, resort or upscale casual dining environment would be an asset.
Why Join The Forager?
- A stable, year-round hospitality opportunity
- A meaningful leadership role with room to grow
- The chance to help shape the service culture of a developing restaurant and tourism destination
- A spectacular coastal workplace approximately 45 minutes from St. John’s
- A collaborative environment where experience, initiative and good ideas are valued
