Something new is coming to Richmond Road.

We're opening a bistro where French culinary technique meets the depth of Chinese flavours — and we need someone special to run the front of it. This is a dual role: you'll lead our bar program and supervise the front-of-house team.

What you'll do

- Design and run the bar program, including a cocktail list with Chinese-inspired twists (tea, spices, house infusions — real creativity welcome)
- Lead the front-of-house team: train servers, set service standards, handle guest experience
- Own the room during service — you're the face of the restaurant
- Manage opening/closing duties, cash handling, and bar inventory
- Work directly with the owner on the guest experience from day one

Who we're looking for
- 2+ years of bartending experience, with craft cocktail skills
- Previous supervisory or shift-lead experience in a restaurant/bar




- Valid Smart Serve certification (required in Ontario)
- Polished, warm, and professional with guests; firm and fair with the team
- Genuine interest in food and drink culture — curiosity about Chinese flavours is a big plus
- Comfortable in a small, new restaurant where everyone wears multiple hats

What we offer
- $22–$24 per hour, plus tips
- Founding team member — shape the bar program and service culture from scratch
- Full-time, with a transparent path to grow as the restaurant grows
- A workplace built on respect and communication

Pay: $22.00-$24.00 per hour Expected hours: No more than 48.0 per week

Benefits

- Company events
- Discounted or free food
- Profit sharing

Work Location: In person
