Job Description

Strolla, Sea Point is looking for a

hands-on, hospitality-obsessed Restaurant Manager

to join our team and take service to the next level.

We're not after clipboard managers who hide in the office. We need someone who thrives on the floor -- greeting guests, leading the team by example, and turning ordinary shifts into smooth, high-energy service.

What you'll be doing:

Be the

face of the floor

- welcoming guests, keeping service sharp, and making sure every table leaves happy. Work closely with the General Manager, who'll handle the majority of the administrative side, while you focus on people, presence, and service.

Train, motivate, and build the FOH team

- creating a culture of warmth, professionalism, and accountability. Keep things running tight during busy shifts - from morning coffees to sundowners by the sea. Partner with the kitchen and bar to ensure seamless service across the board.

Who we're looking for:

You've got a few years of experience in the restaurant world (hotel restaurant experience is a big plus). You're

energetic, hands-on, and thrive on being in the thick of service

. Guests love you, and staff respect you - because you lead by example, not by barking orders. You're serious about standards, but you keep things fun. You've got a knack for spotting problems before they hit the fan and solving them with style.

Tech-savvy enough to keep the admin in check

- comfortable with Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook.

What's in it for you:

The chance to grow with a well-established restaurant group. A supportive, people-oriented organisation who want you to succeed. And of course... an office with one of the best ocean views in the city.
If you're ready to step up, bring the energy, and make Strolla a place where

guests feel looked after and staff feel proud

, we want to hear from you.

Apply now by sending your CV and a short motivation to lara@hospitalityguru.co.za
