Shift Manager, Pub
About The Position
Dreaming big is in our DNA. It’s who we are as a company. It’s our culture. It’s our heritage. And more than ever, it’s our future. A future where we’re always looking forward. Always serving up new ways to meet life’s moments. A future where we keep dreaming bigger. We look for people with passion, talent, and curiosity, and provide them with the teammates, resources and opportunities to unleash their full potential. The power we create together – when we combine your strengths with ours – is unstoppable. Are you ready to join a team that dreams as big as you do? As a Pub Manager, you are the Floor General. You will bridge the gap between back-of-house and front-of-house, ensuring that whether we have 5 or 35 employees on the floor, our service is seamless and our hospitality is unmatched. You’ll be the master of day-to-day operations, focusing on the numbers that drive success—labor and COGS—while never losing sight of the guest experience. Golden Road Brewing isn’t just a pub; it’s a craft beer landmark. Our Atwater Village flagship is a historic train station turned family-friendly destination, complete with outdoor biergartens, an indoor speakeasy, and a sunny SoCal vibe. We are looking for a Pub Manager who lives for the hustle, oozes hospitality, and remains the calmest person in the room when the house is packed.
Requirements
- High School Diploma or equivalent required.
- 1–2 years of management experience in F&B.
- You take immense pride in your workspace and understand that the little things create the guest experience. You notice immediately if the lighting is too bright, the music is the wrong vibe, or a corner of the lawn needs attention. You maintain a high standard for cleanliness and organization, ensuring the pub is always show-ready.
- You are tuned into your team, noticing when a staff member needs support or has feedback to improve the flow of the shift.
- You are a people person who knows how to keep shifts fun and staff engaged. You bring the energy that makes people want to come to work.
- You look forward to being on the floor, shaking hands, and going above and beyond to welcome our guests.
- Solid understanding of ordering and labor costs.
- Available for the nights and weekends that make our pub thrive.
Nice To Haves
- A genuine love for craft beer and technical familiarity with draft systems.
Responsibilities
- Manage, coach, and inspire a diverse team of 5–35 hourly employees per shift. You’ll be responsible for scheduling and leading high-impact pre-shift huddles.
- Manage labor percentages and COGS. You’ll handle inventory, ordering, and forecasting to ensure the pub is always prepared for the next wave.
- While you don't need to be a Master Cicerone, you’ll oversee beverage quality. Basic draft system knowledge (keg swaps, gas ratios, troubleshooting) is a major plus.
- Act as a kind, patient, and professional presence for our guests and a supportive mentor for our team.
