Job Description

As Restaurant Manager for Chou Chou, you’ll be right in the thick of things and will learn every day what it takes to bring our restaurant to life with positive vibes. Together with the supervisors, you’ll lead a team of bartenders, F&D staff, and servers.

• Understand the numbers: Keep track of the finances, because a great atmosphere and good business go hand in hand.
• Develop new ideas: Work with the team to create variety, fun, and the best possible experience, and actively put your ideas into action.
• Acting sustainably: Actively supporting our commitment to the environment.
• Being a team player: Pitching in where you’re needed and maintaining a positive atmosphere.
