Restaurant Supervisor

The role: Restaurant Supervisor

At Mea, we’re crafting more than just a restaurant — we’re building a bold, flavour-driven destination inspired by the sun-soaked kitchens of the Eastern Mediterranean. Located in the heart of Antwerp’s Zurenborg district and part of the new Via Antwerp hotel, Mea is all about vibrant dishes, soulful service, and a warm, buzzing atmosphere.

As Restaurant Supervisor, you’ll play a central role in shaping that experience from the very start. You’ll support the Restaurant Manager in leading the front-of-house team, ensuring every guest interaction reflects our passion for hospitality and our Mediterranean roots. From pre-opening prep to daily floor leadership, you'll help turn our vision into reality — creating a service culture that's as memorable as the food itself.

What you’ll do

• Support in recruiting, onboarding, and training the opening FOH team.

• Lead daily service on the floor — guiding the team, handling guest interactions, and keeping things smooth, stylish, and on-brand.

• Ensure the Mea service style is consistently delivered — warm, confident, and full of personality.

• Act as a key point of contact between the kitchen and front of house, ensuring seamless coordination and timing.

• Handle guest feedback on the spot, solving issues with grace and a solutions-first attitude.

• Keep an eye on floor operations: table settings, flow, cleanliness, and atmosphere — making sure everything looks and feels just right.

• Support with ordering, inventory, and shift scheduling when needed.

• Help build a culture where team members feel supported, inspired, and proud to be part of something new.

You’ll be a great fit if you bring the below with you

• Experience in a senior waitstaff or supervisor role, preferably in a busy, high-quality restaurant.

• Confident leading a team and giving direction in a calm, clear, and motivating way.

• Passionate about food, service, and creating exceptional guest moments.

• Great communication skills and a sharp eye for detail.

• Comfortable jumping into a fast-paced environment with energy and grace.

• Fluent in English and Dutch — other languages are a big plus.

• Excited to be part of a pre-opening team and help shape something from the ground up.

What we offer

• The chance to be part of a bold, growing brand with an international outlook.

• A supportive and energetic team culture where your voice matters.

• Real input in shaping service standards, team culture, and guest experience.

• Competitive salary and benefits package.

• Opportunities for growth and development as we expand.
