Marcus Bishop
Restaurant Supervisor
Smooth service, a tight team, happy tables
Restaurant supervisor with eight years in Toronto hospitality, the last four running floor and shifts for a 120-seat restaurant. Leads a front-of-house team of 15, runs service from open to close, and keeps the floor and kitchen in sync through a packed Saturday night. Improved table turn times and the guest-feedback score through better section planning and staff coaching, and trains new servers to standard fast. Handles cash-ups, scheduling, stock for the bar, and the complaints that need a calm, senior hand. Leads from the floor and stays composed when the section is in the weeds. Looking for a supervisor or assistant-manager role with a restaurant that runs great service and looks after its team.
