Job Description

GENERAL MANAGER – HIGH-VOLUME RESTAURANT 

New Providence, New Jersey | Salary up to 100k

A growing restaurant organization in Northern New Jersey is looking for an experienced General Manager who knows how to run a high-volume operation, develop great people, and take full ownership of the business. 

This is not a position for someone who wants to manage from the office or simply execute someone else's playbook. We are looking for a hands-on restaurant operator who leads from the floor, understands the numbers, develops managers, and knows how to build systems that make a restaurant stronger. 

For the right person, this is also more than a single-unit GM opportunity. The organization is growing, and this position offers a clear path toward multi-unit leadership for a General Manager who delivers results and can help develop the next generation of leaders. 

What You'll Own 

Restaurant Operations 

• Take full ownership of day-to-day restaurant performance and profitability. 

• Manage a high-volume operation across dine-in, takeout/delivery, catering, and private events. 

• Lead from the floor during peak periods and set expectations for hospitality, execution, speed, cleanliness, and consistency. 

• Own key financial metrics including labor, food cost, prime cost, sales, and overall P&L performance. 

• Build schedules around forecasted sales and business needs while maintaining appropriate labor levels. 

• Oversee inventory, ordering, vendor relationships, and cost controls. 

• Identify opportunities to improve profitability without sacrificing the guest experience or team culture.
