• Support restaurant/bar staff during peak evening hours to ensure high-quality service and adherence to brand standards.
• Handle guest concerns with professionalism and resolve issues promptly.
• Assist with evening cash handling, reconciliation, and reporting procedures.
• Monitor safety, cleanliness, and service quality across all guest-facing areas.
• Provide coaching, leadership, and support to evening team members.
• Communicate clearly with day leadership teams to ensure consistent service and goal alignment.

What We’re Looking For:

• 2+ years of supervisory or management experience in hospitality, food & beverage, or similar service industry roles.
• Strong leadership skills and the ability to think quickly and calmly in dynamic situations.
• Clear and effective communication skills—written and verbal.
• Comfort with basic administrative tasks such as shift reporting, scheduling notes, and nightly audits.
• A passion for hospitality and a desire to make a positive impact on every guest and team member.

Work Schedule:

• Evening shifts (typically between 3:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. or similar).
• Weekends and holidays are expected.

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a dynamic team in a unique dual branded Marriott property.
• Work in a leadership role with visibility across hotel and restaurant operations.
• Competitive pay and benefits—including PTO, paid holidays, and health insurance options.
• Opportunities to grow within First Call Hospitality’s family of hotels.
• A supportive environment where your input and leadership matter.

Our property is located in Sikeston, Missouri, a welcoming community with small-town charm and big opportunities. With a mix of local culture, great dining (home of the famous Lambert’s Café!), and access to I-55 and I-57, Sikeston offers a great quality of life and a convenient place to grow your hospitality career.
