During your shift, the floor is yours. You open or close the house, assign the sections, brief the team, and ensure everything is ready before the first guest walks in.
Once the service is underway, you keep the overview. You manage the Chefs and Commis de Rang, monitor the pace and flow, coordinate with the bar and kitchen, and solve whatever needs solving. Ideally before the guest even notices. Where it gets busy, you jump in; where there’s a bottleneck, you adjust.
You work closely with the Maître on duty and take the lead on the floor when they are not there.
