Highlights

From day one, we've prided ourselves on offering a modern and eclectic spin on Southern breakfast and comfort foods, with our full made from scratch menu offered all day, to go along with our extensive craft beer list and our creative spin on traditional cocktails like Bloody Marys' and Mimosas. We've been met with great enthusiasm since our first opening several years ago in Virginia Beach and thought expanding to Norfolk, specifically the ODU area made perfect sense.

Restaurant Manager 

Moliar Hospitality Group (MHG)Hourly | Full-Time | Leadership Role
Role Summary
The Hourly Restaurant Manager is responsible for running the restaurant during assigned shifts and ensuring MHG standards are executed at all times. This role is hands-on, floor-driven, and results-focused. When you are on duty, you own the building—people, product, guests, and problems.
This is not a supervisory title for senior servers. This is an operating leader role with real accountability.

  • Execute daily checklists—no skipped steps, no shortcuts
Team Leadership
  • Lead FOH and BOH staff during service
  • Enforce policies, standards, and expectations consistently
  • Coach performance in real time—fix issues on the floor, not after the fact
  • Approve shift swaps, breaks, and call-outs per policy
  • Escalate discipline issues to senior management with proper documentation
Labor & Cost Control
  • Execute posted schedules and control labor during shifts
  • Make real-time labor decisions based on sales volume
  • Prevent waste, theft, over-pouring, and excessive comps
  • Follow inventory, cash handling, and tip compliance procedures
Cash & Accountability
  • Ensure accurate cash handling and shift paperwork
  • Approve comps/voids within authorized limits
  • Secure cash, keys, and alarm codes
  • Report variances or issues immediately
Communication & Reporting
  • Communicate shift issues, maintenance needs, and staffing problems clearly
  • Complete shift notes and manager logs
  • Follow MHG communication systems (GroupMe, R365, POS notes, etc.)
  • Support events, promotions, and special programs as scheduled
Experience & Qualifications
  • 2–4+ years restaurant experience (management or lead role preferred)
  • Strong service standards and floor presence
  • Ability to lead under pressure and stay calm during volume
  • Understanding of basic labor control and cash handling
  • Nights, weekends, and holidays required
  • Must be physically able to work long shifts on your feet
Pay Structure
  • Hourly rate based on experience
  • Eligibility for shift-based incentives or performance bonuses (if applicable)
  • Overtime paid in accordance with state and federal law
Non-Negotiables
  • Punctuality and reliability
  • Professional conduct on and off the clock

  • Zero tolerance for dishonesty or favoritism
Compensation: $18.00 - $24.00 per hour
