Percy is hiring an experienced Restaurant Manager to lead day-to-day operations for its busy 1970s-inspired diner and bar. This is a hands-on management position overseeing a team of approximately 15-20 employees in a restaurant that can serve up to 250 guests during high-volume brunch services.

This role is a good fit for a restaurant manager who likes being on the floor, can keep a busy service organized, and can lead a team while maintaining consistent standards.

Why This Role Stands Out

• $55,000-$60,000 salary
• Revenue-based bonus potential
• Paid biweekly
• Medical benefits
• Paid time off
• Favorable hours
• Established team with many employees who have been with Percy since opening
• High-volume restaurant environment
• Creative, community-driven concept
• Easily accessible by public transportation

About the Role

The Restaurant Manager is responsible for keeping the restaurant organized, staffed, prepared, and running consistently from day to day.

Percy is an 80-seat restaurant with a particularly strong brunch business, serving approximately 250 covers and turning the dining room up to three times during Saturday and Sunday brunch. Dinner service operates at a lower volume, so this role requires someone who can adjust their management approach to different service periods.

You will oversee approximately 15-20 employees and work directly with ownership to maintain service standards, develop the team, and keep restaurant operations on track.

We are looking for someone who can:

• Lead a high-volume restaurant floor with confidence and organization
• Train, motivate, and hold employees accountable
• Build schedules around business needs
• Manage ordering, receiving, and inventory
• Maintain food safety and sanitation standards
• Keep recurring operational tasks and systems consistent
• Communicate clearly with FOH and BOH employees
• Stay visible and engaged during service
• Recognize problems early and address them before they affect the guest experience
