Restaurant Manager | Fast Casual Restaurant | $50K-$65K + Bonus #ZGC 3698501

Run the restaurant. Build the team. Grow into the GM seat.

We are seeking a Restaurant Manager for a growing, well-established fast casual brand in Connecticut. This is a salaried, whole-restaurant leadership role under the General Manager: you own scheduling, staffing, training, facilities and the guest experience across dine-in, takeout, digital and delivery. It is built for a manager who wants to be developed into a General Manager.

What You'll Do

• Lead the restaurant alongside the General Manager and run it in their absence
• Hire, coach, develop and promote shift leaders and team members; build a bench the restaurant can promote from
• Own the numbers: labor, inventory, waste and sales, with clear targets every period
• Hold the standard on food safety, sanitation and cleanliness every shift
• Run a multi-channel operation: dine-in, takeout, digital ordering and delivery
• Model friendly, fast, accurate service and coach the team on guest recovery
• Roll out new menu items, systems and company initiatives consistently and on time

What We're Looking For

• Salaried restaurant management experience with full-unit accountability (not shift-only, not front-of-house only, not back-of-house only)
• Specific examples of hiring, coaching, promoting and retaining people
• Fast casual or casual dining background preferred, with strong guest service and financial accountability
• Food safety and sanitation discipline
• Humble, friendly, a clear communicator who takes feedback well
• Credible ambition and the track record to become a General Manager
• Lives within commuting distance of the restaurant

Why Join Us?

• Competitive base salary plus bonus; full details on a quick call
• A real path to General Manager for the managers who deliver, and multi-unit leadership beyond that
• A stable, growing brand that promotes from within and invests in structured training
• Full benefits, including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, 401(k) with match and paid time off

If you are a restaurant manager who wants to run a whole restaurant and grow into a General Manager seat with a company that promotes from within, we would welcome the opportunity to speak with you.
