Hands-On Restaurant Leader | $90K–$100K + Bonus | Exceptional Work-Life Balance

We are partnering with a well-established, family-owned restaurant concept that has proudly served its community for over 50 years and continues to be a trusted destination for guests across all three dayparts. With approximately $4M in annual sales, this business is both stable and primed for its next phase of thoughtful growth.

The restaurant has become a true community gathering place—welcoming everything from family meals and business lunches to celebrations for local schools, teams, and organizations. Known for delivering a consistently high-quality experience, it attracts a wide range of loyal guests who return for breakfast all day, lunch, and dinner.

We are seeking a hands-on, people-driven leader who enjoys being present on the floor, developing teams, and driving sales through great execution. This role will have full responsibility for three meal periods daily, while also leading cost control, purchasing efficiencies, and operational streamlining. The right leader will balance hospitality and discipline while helping guide the business forward.

  • Competitive salary: $90,000–$100,000
  • Discretionary performance-based bonus
  • Healthcare stipend
  • 5-day work week
  • No late nights – weekends close by 9pm
  • No after-bar crowd
  • Strong ownership support and a long-term mindset

The restaurant is deeply connected to its surrounding communities, with long-standing relationships across local schools, arts, sports programs, and neighborhood businesses. A leader who values community engagement and understands the importance of local relationships will thrive here.

This is an outstanding opportunity for an operator who wants to lead a respected brand, grow a strong team, and enjoy a sustainable lifestyle—all while playing a meaningful role in the future of a legacy business.
