General Manager

Restaurant General Manager- The Stand Newport Beach 1332 Bison Ave, Newport Beach, CA 92660, USA

The Stand is one of California's fastest-growing fast-casual restaurant brands - 22+ locations across California and Texas, and we're opening more. That growth isn't just a number. It means new territories, new markets, and real opportunities for the leaders who are ready to help us build.

We're not looking for a caretaker. We're looking for a General Manager who runs their restaurant like they own it. Someone who builds a great team, obsesses over the guest experience, manages the P&L with discipline, and takes pride in making their location the best one in the system.

If you're a hospitality leader who's ready to do meaningful work at a company that's going somewhere - this is your opportunity.

What You'll Own as a Restaurant General Manager

• Full restaurant operations - every shift, every guest, every standard
• Team leadership: hiring, training, coaching, and developing your ARM and staff
• P&L ownership: sales, labor, food cost, and hitting your financial targets
• Guest experience and complaint resolution - the buck stops with you
• Food safety, cleanliness, and brand standards - no exceptions
• Scheduling, ordering, and day-to-day operational execution
• Reporting to your Regional Manager and staying aligned with company direction

What We're Looking For:

• 2+ years as a General Manager or senior AGM in fast casual or QSR
• Proven track record running a profitable, high-volume location
• A leader who develops people - your ARM should be your next GM
• Financially literate - you know what the numbers mean and how to move them
• Someone who takes ownership, not someone who waits to be told
• 21+ years old, full-time availability including nights, weekends, and holidays

Compensation & Benefits:

• Performance bonus
• Up to $85000.00 per year
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k)+Company Match (We help invest in your future)
• Paid vacation and sick time
• Meal credit on shift, employee discount off shift
• Monthly cell phone allowance + Shoes for Crews reimbursement
• Full-Time Position

The Path: We promote from within - aggressively. Our Regional Managers came up through the GM role. With 22+ locations and more opening, there is a real career here for the right person. If you're a GM who's ready to grow into a multi-unit role, we want to talk.

Why The Stand?
• We're growing - 22+ locations and more on the way. That means advancement is real, not a promise.
• We promote from within. Our Regional Managers came up through our restaurants.
• We care about food. Our menu is built on American classics done with passion and quality.
• We invest in our people. You'll have the support, resources, and leadership to succeed.
