Is excellent service and guest care more than just a job to you? Do you see your service manager work as an art form that touches people and creates moments that last a lifetime? In Berlin’s vibrant culinary scene, there are many job opportunities, but only one stage where your talent can become legendary: The Blue Pearl. We are looking for a leader who is ready to redefine the concept of hospitality in the heart of the historic Nikolai Quarter.
The soul of the restaurant is in your hands.
At The Blue Pearl, we’re not creating an ordinary restaurant. It’s a Royal Underwater Experience, a fusion of fine dining, theater, and multisensory art. In this spectacular setting, surrounded by golden ceiling waves and luminous coral floors, your department is the key player.
You’re not just a service manager – you’re the director of the evening. As our guests embark on a „world tour of flavors“ – from France to Japan to Mexico – you are the guide. Your presence transforms a dinner into an unforgettable event. While the kitchen, under the direction of Steve Karlsch, conjures up culinary masterpieces, you ensure the atmosphere in the room is electric.
Why this service is unique
Working at The Blue Pearl is fundamentally different from traditional gastronomy. Here, every course is staged and follows a clear dramatic structure.
Choreography instead of routine: You coordinate the flow of events to the beat of the show. When the music becomes dramatic and the lighting installations transform the atmosphere, your service team’s movements must be impeccable. You work hand in hand with our Event Director, Magy da Silva, to ensure that the culinary experience and entertainment blend seamlessly.
Magical moments: You serve caviar in a golden Fabergé egg or present oysters on misty agate platters. Your task is to orchestrate these effects in such a way that they achieve their full emotional impact without being intrusive.
Exclusivity: As a service manager you’ll attend to guests in the luxurious Captain’s Room, a cigar lounge furnished with Chesterfield furniture and rare cognacs. Here, discreet, knowledgeable communication is essential, operating on equal footing with a discerning international clientele – from diplomats to stars of Berlin’s high society.
Lead your team to true excellence as a service manager
As Service Manager, you are both a role model and a mentor. You inspire your staff to experience hospitality not as an obligation, but as a passion.
A key component of your role is the Blue Pearl Academy. Because we have very high standards for the synchronization of presentation and service, we provide intensive in-house training for our staff. You will lead these training sessions, imparting etiquette, product knowledge, and the unique storytelling of our brand. Your goal: A team that intuitively anticipates needs even before the guest expresses them.
You will work closely with John Michel Maurer, our Managing Director and Sommelier. As a host, he embodies the soul of the establishment. Together, you’ll raise the bar to international standards and ensure that every guest – whether in the main dining room or the private shell suites – feels like royalty.
Your profile: Passion in your blood
We’re looking for someone who loves service and goes the extra mile.
You have solid experience in fine dining or 5-star hotels.
You have a keen sense of timing and drama – movement in a room is like a dance to you.
You possess strong leadership skills and can motivate a team, even under pressure.
Your German and English language skills are excellent, enabling you to confidently interact with our international guests.
What we offer
We demand a lot from our service manager, but we also give a lot in return.
A workplace steeped in history: The former „Schwalbennest“ is an icon in the Nikolaiviertel district, right on the Spree River.
Innovation: Work with state-of-the-art POS systems and tools that support your operations.
Career: Be part of a brand expanding to Munich, Dubai, and Paris. Your career can take you around the world with us.
Team Culture: We lead through inspiration, not rigid hierarchies.
