Job Description

General Manager – Hospitality-Driven, Scratch Kitchen Concept

We’re looking for a passionate and people-first General Manager to lead a high-quality, scratch-based restaurant where food, culture, and guest experience come first.

This is an opportunity for a leader who believes great restaurants are built through strong teams, genuine hospitality, and a relentless commitment to food quality.

You’ll set the tone for the entire operation—creating memorable experiences for guests while building a culture your team is proud to be part of.

What You’ll Do

Lead the Guest Experience

Create an environment where every guest feels welcomed, valued, and excited to return. You’ll be present on the floor, engaging with guests, resolving concerns, and elevating the overall dining experience.

Champion Food Quality

Protect and elevate a scratch kitchen culture. Ensure every dish meets high standards in preparation, consistency, and presentation while working closely with the culinary team to maintain excellence.

Build and Inspire Great Teams

Recruit, develop, and retain a team that thrives on hospitality. Coach with purpose, lead with integrity, and create a positive, balanced workplace where people can grow and succeed.

Drive Operations with Excellence

Oversee all day-to-day operations including service execution, cleanliness, and efficiency. Lead by example and hold high standards that ensure a smooth and consistent operation.

Own the Business

Manage financial performance including sales, labor, and cost controls. Make smart, data-driven decisions that support profitability while never sacrificing quality or culture.

Develop People and Culture

Create a workplace that values teamwork, accountability, and work-life balance. Invest in training and development to build future leaders within your team.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Competitive salary + bonus potential
• Comprehensive health benefits
• 401(k)
• Paid time off
• Clear path for growth and advancement
• Strong, people-first culture with a focus on work-life balance
• High-quality, scratch food program you can be proud of

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of General Manager or Managing Partner experience in a high-volume, full-service environment
• A true passion for hospitality, guest experience, and food quality
• Proven ability to build, lead, and develop high-performing teams
• Strong operational knowledge across both front and back of house
• Financial acumen with experience managing P&L, labor, and costs
• Hands-on leadership style with a presence on the floor
• Strong communication, problem-solving, and decision-making skills

If you’re a leader who believes that great food and great people create unforgettable experiences , this is the role for you.
