Jobs at Palisades Hospitality (Now Hiring) — 2 open

Restaurant Manager - Piatti Mill Valley 

Do you love the structure of a well-run restaurant? Does a tight floor plan, a clean line check, and a schedule that just works genuinely satisfy you?

If you're the kind of operator who sees the beauty in doing things right - who doesn't need someone looking over your shoulder because you already know what "right" looks like - we want to talk to you.

Piatti is looking for a Restaurant Manager to own the floor and help run the business, not just assist with it. This is a role for someone who thrives on consistency, brings order to the chaos of a busy service, and genuinely enjoys the craft of hospitality operations.

 

A LITTLE ABOUT US

Established in 1987, Piatti is a fresh take on the neighborhood Italian ristorante. The soul of our menu is our house-made pasta - rolled, cut, and cooked by hand every day. Piatti combines a warm, inviting atmosphere and seamless service, bringing friends and family together.

 

WHAT YOU'LL OWN AS RESTAURANT MANAGER

You will run shifts with real authority and real accountability - trusted to make sound calls in the moment and to keep the operation consistent day after day.

• Run the floor. Lead service from the front, setting the pace and standard for servers, hosts, bartenders, and buspersons.
• Run the business. Manage scheduling and staffing against business needs, oversee labor and cost controls, and keep the operation financially sound.
• Keep the systems humming. You're comfortable and active in the platforms that keep a restaurant running - POS, inventory management, reservations, and invoicing - using them as tools to drive decisions, not just to check a box.
• Build and protect culture. Create a work environment that's positive, safe, and productive, where your team knows what's expected and feels supported in meeting it.
• Seek to understand. Before jumping to conclusions, you ask questions, listen to your team and your guests, and get to the real issue - then fix it properly.
• Develop your people. Spot training needs, coach in the moment, and build a team that can execute at a high level with or without you on the floor.
• Uphold the standard. Enforce company procedures and service standards so that every shift, every night, feels like Piatti.

 

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• A proven leader who can run a shift independently and make sound, timely decisions without needing constant oversight
• Someone who finds satisfaction in consistency and structure - you'd rather build a system that works than reinvent the wheel every night
• A "seek to understand" mindset - curious, fair, and clear-headed under pressure
• Comfortable and proficient with restaurant management platforms (POS, inventory, reservations, invoicing)
• Strong communicator with a high level of integrity and sound judgment, even when things get busy
• A track record of building and maintaining a positive, safe, and productive team culture
• Prior restaurant management experience required; full-service, high-volume experience preferred
