• Maintain strong beverage controls, responsible alcohol service, and appropriate pour-cost standards
• Ensure consistent food quality, presentation, sanitation, and health department compliance
• Maintain a visible leadership presence during peak periods, including evenings and weekends
• Handle difficult guest and employee situations calmly, professionally, and decisively
• Develop dependable managers and key employees who can successfully operate the business in your absence
• Partner directly with ownership on opportunities to improve the operation, increase sales, and continue growing the business

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of restaurant/F&B management experience, including GM, AGM, F&B Manager, or comparable leadership experience
• Proven experience leading a high-volume, full-service restaurant and bar operation
• Strong bar and beverage experience, including liquor inventory, pour-cost management, beverage controls, and responsible alcohol service
• Strong knowledge of food cost, labor cost, inventory, ordering, scheduling, and restaurant financial performance
• Experience leading and developing both FOH and BOH teams
• Proven ability to address performance issues and hold employees accountable while maintaining a strong team culture
• A mature, measured communication style and the ability to remain calm in a fast-moving environment
• A strong sense of ownership, dependability, and personal accountability
• Comfortable working evenings, weekends, events, and peak business periods
• Experience in high-volume casual dining, sports bars, nightlife, entertainment venues, or multi-concept hospitality operations is highly preferred.

Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary around $90,000, based on experience
• Comprehensive employer-paid health insurance options
• 401(k) with 4% company match
• Additional benefits and compensation opportunities
• Long-term growth potential with an established, family-owned organization
