Compliance, Safety & Risk Management

Ensure both restaurant locations operate in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local health, food safety, alcohol service, and operational regulations.
Maintain compliance with Health Department requirements, food handling standards, Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) requirements, OSHA, and workplace safety practices.
Oversee restaurant licenses, permits, inspections, equipment maintenance, and operational compliance requirements.
Ensure cash handling procedures, banking processes, inventory controls, and security measures are consistently followed.
Conduct regular operational audits to ensure cleanliness, safety, and adherence to Brass Bear operating standards.
Investigate operational incidents and implement corrective actions to reduce business risk.
Partner with the People Operations Manager to maintain a safe workplace, support workers' compensation claims, and ensure employees receive required operational and safety training.
