Restaurant Manager

New Restaurant opening soon in Leawood, Kansas

$55,000–$62,000 + Bonus Potential

An exciting new restaurant concept is expanding into Leawood, and looking for an experienced Restaurant Manager to help open the new location and build a strong team from day one. This is an opportunity to join a growing, multi-concept restaurant group known for scratch cooking, bold flavors, genuine hospitality, and high-energy restaurants. With average unit volumes for this concept ranging from approximately $4 million to $6 million annually, this is a fast-paced operation where strong leadership, teamwork, and hands-on execution matter. You won’t simply be maintaining an established operation. You’ll be part of the opening team, helping establish the culture, train the staff, and set the standards that will shape the restaurant going forward.

What You’ll Do

• Support the General Manager in leading daily front- and back-of-house operations
• Help recruit, train, coach, and develop a brand-new restaurant team
• Maintain high standards for food quality, hospitality, cleanliness, and overall execution
• Lead from the floor during busy shifts and work alongside the team when needed
• Help manage scheduling, labor, food cost, and other controllable expenses
• Ensure company systems, procedures, and operational standards are consistently followed
• Coach hourly employees and help develop future restaurant leaders
• Handle guest concerns professionally and create an environment built around genuine hospitality
• Support opening activities, training, and restaurant readiness leading up to launch
• Partner closely with the General Manager and District Manager to improve restaurant performance

What We’re Looking For

• 2+ years of restaurant management experience
• Experience in a high-volume, full-service, polished-casual, or scratch-kitchen environment preferred
• A hands-on management style and willingness to work alongside the team
• Strong understanding of restaurant operations, labor management, food cost, and scheduling
• Ability to coach, train, motivate, and hold employees accountable
• Strong communication and organizational skills
• A hospitality-first mindset with a genuine interest in creating a great guest experience
• Someone comfortable working in a fast-paced restaurant with high standards and significant volume
• A leader who wants to grow with an expanding restaurant organization

A culinary background is valuable because of the scratch-kitchen environment. Managers should be comfortable working closely with both the front and back of the house and understanding how strong kitchen execution impacts the entire operation.

Compensation & Benefits

• $55,000–$62,000 base salary, depending on experience
• Bonus potential
• Paid time off
• Health and dental insurance
• Additional company benefits
• Training and support during the opening process
• Strong advancement potential within a growing, multi-concept restaurant group

Why This Opportunity?

This is more than another Restaurant Manager position. You’ll have the opportunity to help open a brand-new Leawood restaurant, develop a team from the beginning, and establish yourself with an organization that continues to grow. For the right manager, there is significant opportunity to take on additional responsibility and advance into higher-level restaurant leadership positions. If you’re an experienced restaurant manager who enjoys high-volume operations, scratch cooking, developing people, and being part of a new restaurant opening, we’d like to hear from you.
