Lead a portfolio. Build the leaders. Grow with the brand.
We are seeking an Area Manager Partner to lead three to four restaurants for a fast-growing, mission-driven, fast casual brand. Your restaurants sit in several major markets, so you will travel between them regularly, spending your time in the restaurants coaching General Managers and holding the standard. It's the right role for a multi-unit leader who wants to own results like a partner and grow as the brand grows.
What You'll Do
- Own operational and financial performance across your restaurants: sales, labor, food cost, controllables, and guest experience
- Recruit, coach, and develop General Managers; build the next GMs and multi-unit leaders from within
- Travel between your markets for regular visits, audits, and walkthroughs on food safety, quality, speed, cleanliness, and hospitality
- Set clear goals for each GM and hold them accountable to results
- Roll out new initiatives, menu changes, and systems consistently across markets
- Review budgets, forecasts, and labor plans with each GM; analyze KPIs to spot trends early
- Ensure full compliance with health codes, food safety, allergen protocol, and state and local labor law in every market
- Monitor guest feedback and coach teams on above-and-beyond service and guest recovery
What We're Looking For
- Multi-unit leadership at a strong fast casual, QSR, or casual dining brand, or a top-performing multi-unit manager ready for a bigger portfolio
- A track record of developing General Managers and lifting results across several restaurants
- Strong financial acumen: comfortable owning P&L, labor, and food cost across locations
- Comfortable with regular travel between markets
- Excellent communication and influence; holds people accountable while building trust
- Ownership mentality; results over hours; you don't have to be plant-based, but you have to care about the mission
Why Join Us?
- $100K - $110K base plus performance bonuses
- A growing brand that promotes from within and builds leaders on purpose
- A meritocracy that pays fewer people more to do a better job
- Mission-driven culture: Awesome Food, Awesome Service, Tight Operations, and a triple bottom line of doing good, having fun, and making money
If you are a multi-unit leader who wants to own a portfolio and grow with a brand, we would welcome the opportunity to speak with you.
