General Manager – Family-Owned Sports Bar
About the Role
We’re searching for an experienced General Manager to lead a high-volume, family-owned sports bar that’s built a reputation for being welcoming, fun, and community-driven. Think of the atmosphere as a “Cheers-like” environment where both guests and staff feel at home. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, casual dining setting with a strong bar presence.
General Manager Benefits:
- Supportive, upbeat, and people-first culture.
- PTO: 2 weeks to start, 3 weeks after 3 years.
- Bonus program: Quarterly, plus discretionary performance bonus.
- Casual dress code: Branded T-shirt and jeans.
- A positive, family-oriented environment where your leadership makes an immediate impact.
General Manager Qualities:
- Minimum 2 years in management (3–5 preferred) within full-service casual dining; strong bar background preferred.
- Entrepreneurial mentality: ability to operate with minimal oversight, take initiative, and drive results.
- Guest-focused leader with excellent organizational skills, dependability, and a great attitude.
- Stable work history (no more than 2 jobs in the last 5 years).
- Kitchen knowledge and hands-on management experience are a plus.
General Manager Expectations:
- 55-hour workweek (5 shifts of 11 hours, with 2 days off).
- Balance maintaining a family-style culture with holding staff accountable to high standards.
- Conduct daily operations with a focus on guest satisfaction and team development.
- Uphold appearance standards (tattoos and piercings acceptable within reason; no face tattoos).
- Lead by example — mentoring and developing staff, especially those newer to the industry.
