* Actively serve guests and lead the floor, delivering the Attimi experience with precision and personality
* Maintain impeccable service standards, aligned with a nationally awarded dining room

* Manage bar operations, including beverage list execution, cocktail standards, stock control, and wine performance
* Oversee reservations, pacing, and guest movement, protecting the integrity of our degustation format
* Collaborate directly with the Executive Chef/Owner and BDM on service design, brand refinement, events, and continuous improvement
* Implement strategies that increase returning guests and maintain 80–90%+ weekend occupancy
* Drive revenue through intelligent upselling, wine knowledge, and relationship building, without compromising guest trust
This role suits someone ready to step into a national-level dining environment and contribute to the long-term brand expansion of Attimi.
