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 skilled 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 explicit 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

Perks:
Company events
Discounted or free food
Profit sharing

Work Location: In person
