Now Hiring: General Manager – Lead with Purpose, Build Something Special

Step into a role where your leadership matters. We’re a tight-knit, family-focused hospitality group seeking a driven General Manager to take full ownership of day-to-day operations and help us grow our culture and brand. This is more than just another job – it’s a chance to make your mark alongside owners who are present, supportive, and invested in long-term success.

  • Performance-based bonus opportunities
  • Direct access to ownership and leadership team
  • Family-oriented environment with a strong culture of respect and collaboration

General Manager – Requirements & Qualifications

We're looking for a hands-on operator who thrives in a guest-focused, high-accountability environment:

  • Minimum 4 years of General Manager experience in a full-service restaurant
  • Solid, stable work history – we’re not a fit for job hoppers
  • Proven track record of full FOH/BOH oversight and leadership
  • Skilled in labor planning, scheduling, and team building
  • Comfortable managing inventory and leading cost control efforts, especially in bar operations
  • Able to confidently own the P&L, identify trends, and collaborate with ownership on financial decisions
  • Strong communicator and morale builder who leads by example

Unique Daily Responsibilities:

  • Partner closely with bar staff to maintain precise liquor inventory and costs
  • Conduct team check-ins to reinforce standards and celebrate wins
  • Lead pre-shift huddles to align service goals with daily priorities

While not required, we’d love to see:

  • Experience launching or helping grow a small-to-mid-size restaurant group
  • Comfort operating in a high-volume, scratch kitchen or chef-driven concept
  • Familiarity with implementing new systems or processes for team efficiency
  • Passion for developing future leaders and cultivating internal promotions
