• Post-secondary education in Hospitality Management or a related field.
• Valid Food Safe Certification.
• Minimum 1 year of Front-of-House management experience in a casual dining environment.
• Minimum 2 years of Back-of-House management experience, including from-scratch cooking and recipe execution.
