Description

Description The Room Clark’s Austin is the original neighborhood jewel that started it all, tucked away on historic West Sixth Street. A cozy, high-energy, boutique room featuring an iconic patio under the Texas live oaks. We are the town's go-to for pristine oysters on the half shell, ice-cold martinis, our legendary lobster roll, and champagne by the glass.

The Collaboration: Partner closely with the General Manager and the kitchen team to ensure seamless communication and coordination between front-of-house and back-of-house operations. Who You Are Experienced Leader: Progressive experience in a supervisory or managerial role within an upscale, fast-paced restaurant environment (oyster bar, premium bistro, or high-volume neighborhood hotspot). Texas Certified: Fully certified in Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) compliance and Texas Food Management. Proficient in managing inventory and analyzing daily sales data. Builder & Mentor: You take pride in training your team and can point to hospitality professionals you have successfully coached or promoted. Flawless Communicator: Excellent interpersonal skills to gracefully handle guest inquiries, feedback, and complaints, while keeping the team aligned through killer pre-shifts and clear directives. Adaptable: Strong attention to detail, organizational stamina, and the flexibility to thrive during busy evenings, weekends, and holidays. Compensation & Benefits Competitive Salary + Bonus Potential Structured Onboarding: Immersive training within the MML Austin ecosystem Comprehensive Health: Medical, dental, vision, life, short- and long-term disability, and pet insurance Retirement: 401(k) / Retirement benefits The MML Lifestyle: Generous property discounts across our entire portfolio of restaurants, retail, and hotels, plus beverage education reimbursement and paid community service opportunities Time Off: Paid Time Off + Parental Leave Schedule Five days a week, including evenings, weekends, and holidays.
