About the Role

As a Restaurant General Manager, you’ll lead from the front, taking full ownership of the restaurant. Your mission? Smash performance goals while building a team that doesn’t just meet standards but exceeds them. You’ll own the numbers, the vibe, and the experience, ensuring everything runs smoothly while creating a thriving space for both guests and team members.

What Will You Spend Your Time Doing?

• Lead Like You Mean It: Take full ownership of the restaurant — drive performance, hit goals, and set the vibe.
• Build a Team Worth Following: Train, coach, and motivate your people to not just meet the standard — but raise it.
• Smash the Targets: Own your KPIs and inspire the team to deliver every shift, every day.
• Keep It Tight: Stay on top of the admin — rosters, stock, reporting — ensuring everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.
• Make the Guest Experience Unforgettable: Create moments that turn first-timers into regulars.

What We’d Love From You:

• You Lead from the Front: You’ve managed teams before and know how to bring out the best in people.
• You Get People: You build strong teams, handle tough conversations, and foster a culture where everyone feels valued.
• You Run a Tight Ship: You keep operations efficient, clean, and compliant — even in chaos.
