This role is designed for a high-volume operator who knows how to launch, scale, and stabilize large, complex restaurants while building winning teams and unforgettable guest experiences.

This Is Not an Average GM Role

• The autonomy to build a high-performance operation

Non-Negotiable Experience Requirements

This position requires proven, documented success in:

• General Manager or Senior Operator experience in restaurants doing $5 million+ in annual sales
• At least one full New Restaurant Opening (NRO) — including hiring, training, and opening execution
• High-volume bar, brewery, or full-service restaurant operations
• Leading large teams of employees and multiple managers
• Candidates without both $5M+ volume and NRO experience will not be considered.

• Drive revenue through great execution, marketing partnerships, and guest loyalty
• Execute budgets, forecasts, and operational KPIs

Leadership Presence

• Be visible, hands-on, and actively engaged in the operation
• Solve problems quickly and decisively
• Lead by example every day

Within your first 12 months, you will:

• Launch a high-volume restaurant that is fully staffed, trained, and operating at brand standards
• Build a strong bench of managers and future leaders
• Deliver outstanding guest satisfaction
• Hit financial and sales targets
• Create a workplace people are proud to be part of
