Full job description

ABOUT ZAMBRI'S

Zambri's is one of Victoria's most beloved Italian restaurants, known for its commitment to seasonal ingredients, heartfelt hospitality, and a dining experience that keeps guests coming back. Located in the heart of downtown on Yates Street, we are a passionate, tight-knit team that takes genuine pride in what we do, every shift, every table, every guest.

THE ROLE

We are looking for an experienced, hands-on Restaurant Manager to lead our front-of-house operations. This is a floor-focused role: you will be the face of the dining room, the connector between our kitchen and service team, and the standard-bearer for the Zambri's guest experience.

You will report directly to Julia McInnis, co-Owner & Executive Chef, and work closely with Event & Sales Manager to co-manage the restaurant to build a cohesive, guest-first culture.

SCHEDULE

Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday & Saturday: evening shift

Thursday: day shift

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Guest Experience

Act as host to maximize occupancy and warmly welcome every guest
Manage reservations and phone inquiries; configure OpenTable to optimize seating and turn times
Ensure regulars, new guests, and VIPs all receive attentive, consistent service
Address guest feedback professionally and resolve issues with confidence

Floor & Service Management

Lead pre-shift meetings (4:30 pm, with a second briefing for late starters)
Coordinate daily with the Chef on specials, menu updates, and feature sheets
Actively manage the dining room through service, supporting servers, maximizing covers, adjusting staffing in real time
Troubleshoot IT and POS (Lightspeed) issues as they arise

Team Leadership

Collaborate with the Sales Manager to build a guest-focused team culture
Participate in hiring and onboarding of new staff
Conduct coaching conversations and annual performance reviews
Attend weekly management meetings

Administration

Cash-out reconciliation, scheduling, and inventory management
Ordering (dry goods, beer, coffee, office supplies, etc.)
Wholesale order and invoice management
POS item programming and updates

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Proven experience in a restaurant management or senior supervisory role
A genuine passion for hospitality and delivering exceptional guest experiences
Calm, confident leadership on a busy floor
Strong communication skills, with guests, kitchen, and FOH team alike
Comfort with reservation systems (OpenTable) and POS platforms (Lightspeed preferred)
Wine knowledge or sommelier credentials are a significant asset, and may expand your scope and compensation from day one

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

Base Salary

$55,000 annually. Compensation is a conversation, not a ceiling. Exceptional candidates are compensated accordingly. Candidates who can bring wine program management in-house will see that reflected immediately.

Gratuities

1% of net sales for all shifts worked (post-training period).

Benefits & Perks

2 weeks paid vacation annually
Manager-level health benefits after 3-month probation
Complimentary staff meal every shift
20% food discount at Zambri's on days off
20% discount at all Big Wheel Burger locations
Atrium access card: staff entrance, gym, showers, and secured bike storage

We look forward to meeting you

Pay: From $55,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Dental care
Discounted or free food
Extended health care
Paid time off
Store discount
Vision care

Work Location: In person
