Now Hiring: Restaurant Manager (FOH Focus)

We're looking for a hands-on leader to drive service, develop people, and maintain high standards during every shift. This is a high-volume, high-energy restaurant where the pace is fast and expectations are high.

This role is for a manager who thrives on the floor, not in the office.

• Lead by example from the front lines?
• Keep the bar and dining room running smoothly without sacrificing quality?
• Build a team that hustles, executes consistently, and stays motivated?

If so, you’ll do well here.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead all front-of-house operations with full accountability.
• Own the guest experience and uphold exceptional service standards.
• Coach, develop, and mentor your team, holding them accountable for performance.
• Drive sales, ensure flawless execution, and manage shift performance.
• Maintain a strong presence on the floor, leading from the front.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of full-service restaurant management experience.
• Proven ability to lead on the floor and build effective teams.
• High standards for service, cleanliness, and operational execution.
• Demonstrated success in managing high-volume shifts and driving results.
• Valid driver’s license.

Compensation & Benefits

• Total Compensation: $50,000
• Performance-based bonus opportunities.
• Comprehensive benefits package (medical, dental, vision, life, disability).
• 401(k) with company participation.
• Paid Time Off.
• Employee discounts and perks.
• A clear path for career growth.

Our Culture

We value leaders who embody:

• Accountability
• Consistency
• Energy
• Integrity
• Respect
• A drive for continuous improvement

Ready to Lead?

If you can run a shift, build a team, and deliver an outstanding guest experience, we want to hear from you.
