RESTAURANT GENERAL MANAGERS

Three Locations | Established Multi-Concept Restaurant Group

We are seeking three experienced General Managers to lead three individual restaurants within our growing restaurant group.

Each location has its own concept, team, and operating style, but all share the same commitment to exceptional hospitality, high-quality food and beverage, strong financial performance, and a positive workplace culture.

We are looking for hands-on leaders who understand that successful restaurant management requires balancing guest experience, employee development, operational discipline, and profitability.

THE POSITION

As General Manager, you will have primary responsibility for the day-to-day operation and overall performance of your restaurant.

This is not a desk-management position. Our General Managers are expected to be visible leaders who are actively engaged with guests and employees and who understand what is happening throughout the restaurant.

You will work closely with ownership and senior leadership while having the autonomy and accountability necessary to successfully operate your location.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Lead all day-to-day restaurant operations

  • Recruit, hire, train, develop, and retain a strong management and hourly team

  • Create a culture of hospitality, professionalism, accountability, and teamwork

  • Maintain a consistent management presence on the restaurant floor

  • Ensure exceptional guest experiences and professionally resolve guest concerns

  • Manage scheduling and labor costs based on business volume

  • Monitor sales, labor, food cost, beverage cost, and other controllable expenses

  • Understand and manage the restaurant's P&L

  • Work with culinary leadership to maintain food quality, consistency, presentation, and ticket times

  • Maintain high standards for cleanliness, organization, maintenance, and restaurant appearance

  • Ensure compliance with health department, food safety, alcohol service, and employment requirements

  • Manage inventory, purchasing, receiving, and cost-control procedures

  • Develop managers and employees through coaching, training, and regular performance feedback

  • Conduct pre-shift meetings and maintain clear communication between FOH and BOH teams

  • Build relationships with regular guests and become an active presence within the local community

  • Identify opportunities to increase sales, improve operations, and strengthen profitability

  • Work collaboratively with ownership and other General Managers throughout the restaurant group

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

The ideal candidate is an experienced restaurant operator who combines strong hospitality instincts with sound business judgment.

Successful candidates should have:

  • Previous experience as a Restaurant General Manager, Assistant General Manager, or senior restaurant manager

  • Experience in a full-service restaurant environment

  • Strong leadership and employee-development skills

  • Excellent guest-service and problem-solving abilities

  • Working knowledge of restaurant financials and P&L management

  • Experience managing labor, scheduling, inventory, and cost controls

  • Strong understanding of FOH and BOH restaurant operations

  • Ability to recruit, train, motivate, and retain employees

  • Strong organizational and communication skills

  • Ability to remain composed and make sound decisions in a fast-paced environment

  • Flexible availability, including evenings, weekends, and holidays as required by the business

Experience with upscale casual, high-volume, chef-driven, craft beverage, or polished full-service restaurants is especially valuable.

WHAT WE VALUE

We are particularly interested in managers who:

Lead from the floor.


You should enjoy interacting with guests and employees rather than managing exclusively from an office.


Develop people.


Great restaurants require great teams. We want managers who coach employees, develop future leaders, and create an environment where good people want to stay.


Understand the numbers.


Hospitality and profitability are not competing priorities. Strong General Managers understand both.


Take ownership.


We want leaders who identify problems, develop solutions, and take responsibility for the performance of their restaurant.


Care about hospitality.


Our goal is not simply to serve food. We want guests to leave wanting to return.


WHY JOIN OUR RESTAURANT GROUP?

This is an opportunity to join an established multi-concept restaurant organization with opportunities for continued professional growth.

Because we operate multiple restaurants and concepts, successful General Managers have the opportunity to grow beyond managing a single location as our organization continues to develop.

We offer a professional but entrepreneurial environment where strong operators are given the ability to lead, make decisions, and have a meaningful impact on their restaurant.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

We offer a competitive compensation package based on experience and the specific location, with opportunities for performance-based incentives and advancement within the restaurant group.

Additional compensation and benefit details will be discussed during the interview process.

APPLY

We are currently filling three General Manager positions at three separate restaurant locations.

Please submit your resume along with a brief description of your restaurant management experience.

Qualified candidates will be contacted to discuss which of our locations and concepts may be the best fit.

Experienced restaurant operators looking for an opportunity to lead, grow, and build strong teams are encouraged to apply.
