The Opportunity

We’re hiring experienced F&B Operations Managers and Assistant General Managers for a premier, high-volume restaurant and entertainment group with multiple locations throughout the DC Metro and Northern Virginia markets.

These are not quiet operations. We’re talking $3M–$6M in annual sales, 100% scratch kitchens, high-volume bar programs, and fast-paced environments where strong leadership matters.

  • Build a culture of accountability, teamwork, and strong guest service
  • Oversee bar and beverage operations while maintaining quality, consistency, and profitability
  • Partner closely with culinary leadership to ensure smooth FOH/BOH execution
  • Manage labor, scheduling, productivity, and operational costs
  • Drive sales and identify opportunities to improve revenue and profitability
  • Maintain high standards across service, food quality, cleanliness, and overall presentation
  • Resolve guest concerns quickly and professionally
  • Maintain strong operational execution during peak-volume shifts
  • Develop future leaders and strengthen the restaurant's management bench

What We’re Looking For

  • Minimum 2 years of restaurant management experience
  • Full-service, high-volume restaurant background
  • Experience managing operations generating approximately $3M–$6M in annual sales
  • Strong knowledge of bar and beverage operations
  • Experience working with scratch-kitchen concepts
  • Comfortable leading large teams in busy, complex operations
  • Strong understanding of labor, scheduling, cost controls, and restaurant financial performance
  • Ability to stay composed, organized, and decisive during high-volume service
  • Strong communication, coaching, and team-development skills
  • Entertainment, experiential dining, or similarly complex venue experience is a plus

Compensation & Benefits

Base Salary: $70,000–$95,000, based on experience and position

Plus:

  • Lucrative, achievable performance-based bonus program
  • Comprehensive healthcare benefits
  • Generous paid time off
  • Career advancement within a growing organization
  • Multiple locations and opportunities throughout the DC Metro and Northern Virginia markets
  • Clear path for high-performing managers to continue advancing their careers

Ready for a Bigger Operation?

If you’ve successfully managed high-volume restaurants, strong bar programs, large teams, and multimillion-dollar operations, we want to talk.
