Assistant Manager – The Tides Seafood Market & Provisions

Location: Safety Harbor, FL

Position Type: Assistant Manager (Full-Time)

The Opportunity

The Tides is a unique hybrid of a high-end seafood market and a premier full-service restaurant. We are a staple of the Safety Harbor community, known for our elite quality and local flavor. We are looking for an Assistant Manager who is a "floor general"—someone who thrives in the energy of a busy dining room but has the organizational chops to help run the business side.

The Role: FOH Focus with a "Total House" Mindset

This position is primarily Front-of-House (FOH) focused. You will lead the service team, engage with our regulars, and ensure the dining room runs like a clock.

However, we believe the best leaders understand the whole ship. While your expertise is in the FOH, you will be trained on Back-of-House (BOH) basics to ensure you can support the entire operation. BOH experience is a major plus, but a willingness to learn is required.

Core Responsibilities

• Shift Leadership: Direct daily FOH operations, managing floor flow, seating, and guest transitions during high-volume service.
• Team Development: Train, mentor, and hold staff accountable to our high standards of hospitality.
• Inventory Management: Assist with tracking and managing our premium seafood and provisions (previous inventory experience is a big plus!).
• Guest Experience: Act as the primary point of contact for guests, resolving any issues with grace and ensuring every visit is memorable.
• Operational Support: Assist the GM with administrative tasks, including scheduling, cash handling, and maintaining health and safety protocols.
• All-Hands Approach: Be ready to step behind the line or assist the market side during peak times after completing your BOH training.

What You Bring to the Crew

• Experience: Minimum of 2 years of leadership experience in a full-service restaurant environment.
• Skillset: Strong FOH management skills and a professional, polished demeanor.
• Efficiency: Experience with POS systems and inventory management is highly preferred.
• Reliability: A consistent, dependable leader who leads by example.
• Location: Must be able to reliably commute to our Safety Harbor location.

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary: $50,000 – $55,000 per year (commensurate with experience).
• Health Benefits: Medical, Vision, and Dental insurance available after 90 days.
• Paid Time Off: 1 week of paid vacation per year.
• The Perks: A supportive, professional environment with a team that takes pride in being the best in the area.

How to Apply

If you have the experience and the drive to lead one of Safety Harbor's favorite spots, we want to meet you. Please submit your resume and a brief note detailing your restaurant leadership experience.
