Front of House Manager – Hairy Cow Brewing Company (Byron, IL)

Hairy Cow Brewing Company in Byron, Illinois is hiring a part/full-time Front of House Manager to lead our taproom and brewpub team, deliver consistently excellent guest experiences, and help us continue growing as a destination brewpub on the Rock River. This role is hands-on, floor-focused, and ideal for someone who enjoys managing busy service, coaching staff, and maintaining high standards in an independent craft brewery environment.

About the role

Job title: Front of House Manager
Location: Byron, IL (on-site, evenings and weekends required)
Schedule: Part/Full-time flexible, including nights, weekends, and some holidays
Reports to: Ownership/General Manager

You will own the day-to-day front of house operation: leading shifts, managing the service team, and making sure every guest leaves wanting to come back. You’ll work closely with our brewer, kitchen, and bar leadership to keep service smooth, accurate, and aligned with our brand standards as a local, independent brewpub.

Key responsibilities

Lead daily pre-shift meetings; set expectations and communicate 86s, events, and specials
Act as floor leader during service: support servers, bartenders, hosts, and bussers to maintain fast, friendly, attentive service
Train, coach, and hold FOH staff accountable for steps of service, beer and menu knowledge, and responsible alcohol service
Manage scheduling, time-off requests, and basic labor controls for FOH staff using our POS and scheduling tools
Monitor dining room, patio, bar, and restrooms for cleanliness, safety, and overall presentation at all times
Handle guest concerns and service recovery professionally, escalating issues to ownership when needed
Work closely with the kitchen to ensure ticket times, food quality, and expo standards are consistently met
Oversee opening and closing procedures, cash handling, and nightly reporting as assigned
Support execution of events, parties, and brewery promotions, including coordinating with back of house and bar teams

Qualifications

Required:

2+ years restaurant, bar, or brewpub leadership experience (shift lead, supervisor, or manager)
Strong floor presence with the ability to lead by example in a high-volume environment
Proven experience training and coaching front of house teams
Working knowledge of Toast POS systems, basic reporting, and cash handling
Excellent communication and conflict-resolution skills with both guests and staff
Ability to work evenings, weekends, and holidays as business requires
Must be 21+ and able to obtain/maintain any required local/Illinois alcohol service certifications

Preferred:

Experience in a craft brewery, taproom, or beer-centric restaurant environment
Basic beer, craft cocktail, and coffee knowledge and interest in learning more about styles, brewing, and proper service
Experience with opening a restaurant, implementing SOPs, or helping scale a concept is a plus

Pay and benefits

Competitive hourly based on experience with possibility for salary
Meal and beverage discounts
Opportunities for growth within a multi-location, independent brewpub

Specific pay details can be discussed during the interview process; we aim to keep compensation aligned with experience and current local market rates for front of house management roles.
