General Manager – Full-Service Restaurant

We are seeking a hands-on, people-first General Manager to lead a well-established, family-oriented full-service restaurant known for its loyal team, welcoming atmosphere, and strong community reputation.

This role is ideal for a leader who treats the business like their own — someone who thrives on building teams, delivering exceptional guest experiences, and driving operational excellence in a supportive, family-style culture.


About the Opportunity

As General Manager, you will oversee all day-to-day restaurant operations while leading a dedicated front- and back-of-house team. You’ll play a key role in maintaining profitability, developing employees, and ensuring every guest leaves with an outstanding experience.

This is a true leadership role with strong operational support, allowing you to focus on people, performance, and growth.


What We’re Looking For

We’re searching for someone who is:

  • A natural leader who inspires teams and creates a positive workplace culture
  • A self-starter who takes ownership and looks for ways to grow sales and profitability
  • Highly organized with strong problem-solving abilities
  • Comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
  • Passionate about hospitality with a genuine guest-first mindset
  • Hands-on and willing to lead from the floor when needed

Key Responsibilities

  • Oversee daily operations across both Front of House and Back of House
  • Lead, coach, and support FOH and BOH managers
  • Maintain a visible leadership presence across day and evening shifts
  • Manage ordering, vendor relationships, and inventory controls
  • Monitor and manage food and labor costs
  • Assist with staff scheduling alongside FOH leadership
  • Support food cost management, including meat cutting and portioning as needed
  • Recruit, hire, train, and develop team members
  • Coordinate weddings and private events, including menu planning and execution
  • Maintain communication with the corporate office for payroll and accounts payable
  • Complete bank deposits and operational reporting
  • Uphold exceptional customer service standards and resolve guest concerns professionally

Our Culture

We’re proud of our tight-knit, family-oriented team, with many employees who have been with us for years. We believe in celebrating our people and creating a workplace where employees feel valued.

Team traditions include:

  • Annual Christmas Party
  • Family Fun Day
  • Crawfish Boil celebrations
  • A collaborative, supportive leadership environment

Compensation & Benefits

  • Compensation based on experience
  • Paid vacation
  • Annual bonus opportunity
  • Monthly commission based on net performance
