Maleza Palm Springs Restaurant General Manager

TMC Hospitality was founded in 2016 by Philip Bates as an offshoot of TMC Group to bring its innovation and purposeful disruption to the hospitality industry. As a forward‑thinking hotel development and management company focused on elevating hospitality from a service to an experience through strategic development, investment, and brand creation, the group has two hotel brands, Bode and Drift, in addition to Buttonwood Farm & Winery that cater to the concept of social group travel and experiences. Bode, with a location in Nashville, redefines traditional travel by creating flexible spaces that expertly blend the style of vacation rental homes with the comforts and conveniences of a boutique hotel. Drift, with locations in San Jose del Cabo, Santa Barbara, Palm Springs, and Nashville on the horizon, is a modern hotel concept for independent and group travelers who value adventure and culture with minimalist yet intentional details and amenities. Maleza is looking for a hands‑on Restaurant Manager to lead service, support the team, and help drive the energy of one of Palm Springs’ most exciting dining experiences.

We’re looking for someone who thrives in the middle of the action, leads confidently under pressure, and genuinely loves hospitality. At Maleza, we blend the energy of Mexico City with elevated food, cocktails, music, and atmosphere. The ideal candidate is organized, hospitality‑driven, team‑focused, and excited to help build something special alongside a passionate group of people. What You’ll Do: Lead daily restaurant operations and service execution. Coach, train, and motivate FOH teams. Maintain strong labor and operational controls.

Help create a positive, upbeat, accountable team culture. What We’re Looking For: Strong floor presence and leadership skills. Ability to thrive in a high‑volume environment. Passion for hospitality, food, beverage, and guest experience. Nights, weekends, and holiday availability.
