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 exceeds expectations. You’ll own the numbers, the vibe, and the experience, ensuring everything runs smoothly and creating a space where both guests and team members thrive.

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 standards but raise them.

• Keep It Tight: Stay on top of admin tasks — rosters, stock, reporting — to ensure smooth operations.
• Create Unforgettable Guest Experiences: Turn first-timers into regulars by crafting memorable moments.

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.
