About The Little Sparo

The Little Sparo is an independently operated Italian restaurant where passion for food and genuine hospitality come to life every single day. Built around handmade cuisine, an energetic dining room, and a strong service culture, this is not a corporate concept, it’s a place where creativity, personality, and leadership truly matter.

Here, you’ll be part of a people-first environment that celebrates local ingredients, authentic experiences, and meaningful guest connections. Set within a dynamic hotel setting, The Little Sparo has a strong sense of place and a loyal, engaged clientele that appreciates quality, consistency, and real hospitality.

Our philosophy is refreshingly straightforward: exceptional food, highly engaged service, and leadership that is hands-on, visible, and deeply involved in the day-to-day operation. If you thrive in an environment where you can lead from the floor, inspire a team, and shape a restaurant’s identity not just manage it, this is the opportunity to make your mark.

We are looking for a hands-on Restaurant Manager who operates like an owner on the floor. This is a working leadership role inside an independent-style restaurant, not a desk-based management position.

The Restaurant Manager leads service, supports the kitchen, knows the team personally, and is actively involved in the rhythm of the restaurant every day. You will oversee both the restaurant and hotel food & beverage operations while maintaining the feel of a standalone, high-quality dining experience.

You are expected to be present during service, read the room, jump in where needed, and set the tone through action.

Key Responsibilities

Run the restaurant from the floor with a constant service presence
Lead daily service alongside the team, not from an office
Oversee both restaurant, bar, and hotel F&B operations - (with the Catering and Events Manager) with an operator’s mindset
Work closely and directly with the Executive Chef
Engage with guests naturally and frequently to build a loyal, local following
Coach staff in real time during service, not just in meetings
Hire, train, and develop a tight, hospitality-focused team
Maintain high standards in service, cleanliness and quality
Take ownership of scheduling, labor control, inventory, and day-to-day operations
Step into service, support roles when the floor needs leadership
Be deeply involved in pre-opening culture building, soft launch, and ongoing operations

Qualifications

Experience leading an independent or chef-driven full-service restaurant
Strong floor leadership presence and service instincts
Experience in Italian/Mediterranean cuisine
Ability to manage both FOH and BOH in a collaborative, non-corporate environment
Deep understanding of hospitality, service flow, and guest experience
Financial awareness with practical cost and labor management skills
Passion for Italian food, wine, and genuine restaurant culture
Comfortable in a fast-paced, high-accountability, hands-on environment

Why Join Us

Independent-style operation with real leadership autonomy
Opportunity to shape the culture of a new restaurant from the ground up
Close collaboration with ownership and culinary leadership
A restaurant environment that values presence, personality, and hospitality over corporate structure
Beautiful waterfront location with strong community engagement and lifestyle appeal
