• Lead from the floor and stay connected to both your team and your guests

What We’re Looking For

• Proven General Manager experience in a high-volume, full-service restaurant
• Experience managing approximately $4M+ in annual sales
• Strong scratch-kitchen operational experience
• Experience overseeing a full bar and beverage program
• Strong command of restaurant P&L and cost controls
• Track record of developing and retaining successful teams
• Ability to drive profitability without sacrificing food quality or guest experience
• Strong communication, coaching, and problem-solving skills
• Hands-on leadership style with the ability to create accountability throughout the operation

• Established company support
• Opportunity to directly impact the performance and profitability of the restaurant

Run the Restaurant. Not Your Life Into the Ground.

You’ve already proven you can handle the volume, the numbers, the team, and everything that comes with running a successful restaurant.
