General Manager – Dual‑Concept Restaurant Group

Location: Galveston, TX

Compensation: $80,000 + 10% bonus

Benefits: Healthcare options, 401(k) available

About the Opportunity

A privately owned, dual‑concept restaurant group located in a high‑traffic area of Galveston is seeking a refined, experienced General Manager to oversee two complementary properties positioned directly across the street from one another. Combined, the concepts generate over $4M in annual revenue, with one operating at a higher volume and the other offering a more intimate, boutique dining experience.

This is a rare opportunity for a polished operator who thrives in dynamic environments, leads with professionalism, and brings an ownership mentality to daily operations. The ideal candidate is a self‑starter who elevates teams, protects the guest experience, and drives strong financial performance.

Candidates with a long-term career history on Galveston Island will not be considered.

What You’ll Lead

  • Full operational oversight of two distinct restaurant concepts with complementary hours
  • Daily floor leadership, guest relations, and service execution
  • Staff hiring, training, scheduling, and performance management
  • Labor, COGS, and controllable cost management
  • Weekly and monthly financial review and reporting
  • Implementation of systems, standards, and operational consistency across both properties
  • Partnership with ownership on strategic initiatives and long‑term growth

What You Bring

  • Minimum 5 years of General Manager experience in polished casual, upscale, or chef‑driven environments
  • Proven success managing high‑volume operations ($2M+ preferred)
  • Strong leadership presence with refined communication and guest‑service instincts
  • Ability to manage two properties simultaneously with composure and organization
  • A proactive, self‑motivated approach and genuine ownership mindset
  • Professional polish, emotional intelligence, and a commitment to hospitality excellence
  • Fresh perspective — not seeking candidates with a long-term career on Galveston Island

Compensation & Benefits

  • $80,000 base salary
  • 10% performance bonus
  • Healthcare options
  • 401(k) available
