Strong P&L and cost control background with accountability for food and labor targets
Experience with scratch kitchens, large staff training, and local sourcing programs
Must be open to relocating within Florida to one of seven locations in the next 1-2 years
Professional presence, polished communication, and strong leadership ability
Stable and progressive work history required

Preferred Background and Profile

No banquet-only or hotel-based management backgrounds
Candidates must be career-minded and seeking long-term employment.
Experience managing restaurants in heritage, tourism, or destination dining markets preferred
Passion for team development, culture-building, and long-term brand stewardship
