Restaurant Manager – High-Volume Full-Service | Kennewick, WA | $66K Base + Bonus + Excellent Benefits

Are you a high-energy, hands-on leader who thrives in a fast-paced, high-volume full-service restaurant with a lively sports atmosphere and a strong culture of fun? We are seeking a driven Restaurant Manager in Kennewick, WA (Tri-Cities area) to lead a busy, guest-focused operation that delivers great food, cold drinks, and an energetic sports experience every day.

Why This Role Stands Out

This is a high-volume, full-service concept with a strong sports focus — packed game days, high energy, and a team that works hard and has fun doing it. The Restaurant Manager will drive sales, elevate the guest experience, develop the team, and keep operations running smoothly in a fast-moving environment.

Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary: $66K
• Performance bonus opportunity
• Excellent benefits package (details shared during the interview process)

Key Responsibilities

• Lead overall operations of a high-volume full-service restaurant with a strong sports and entertainment component
• Drive sales, guest satisfaction, and operational excellence during peak periods, game days, and high-energy shifts
• Lead, coach, and develop front-of-house and back-of-house team members to deliver consistent, high-energy service
• Ensure food quality, speed of service, and a fun, welcoming atmosphere that keeps guests coming back
• Manage daily operations including labor, inventory, cash handling, scheduling, and cost control
• Create and maintain a positive, high-energy team culture that balances hard work with fun
• Handle guest recovery and build loyalty in a busy sports-oriented environment
• Enforce safety, sanitation, and company standards while supporting continuous improvement

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience as a Restaurant Manager, Assistant General Manager, Kitchen Manager, or Front-of-House Manager in a high-volume full-service restaurant (sports bar, casual dining, or similar concept preferred)
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-energy environment with strong sports and entertainment elements
• Strong leadership, coaching, and people-development skills
• Solid understanding of restaurant operations, labor management, cost controls, and guest experience
• High energy, positive attitude, and a natural ability to create a fun yet professional atmosphere
• Flexibility to work nights, weekends, and high-volume periods (including major sporting events)
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills
• Ability to lead by example on the floor during peak times

Ideal Candidate Profile

You love the energy of a packed sports restaurant, stay calm under pressure when volume spikes, and know how to keep both the team and the guests engaged. You balance operational discipline with a genuine sense of fun and hospitality.
