GENERAL MANAGER + KITCHEN MANAGER
Growing Fast-Casual / QSR Concept | Manhattan, NYC

$80,000–$100,000 Base Salary, based on experience and role
Manhattan, NYC



Major Growth + Career Advancement Opportunity

2 successful locations today. 5 locations planned within the next 12 months.

We’re partnering with an exciting, well-funded and rapidly growing fast-casual concept in Manhattan that is entering an important next chapter of expansion.

The company has already done the hard part: the concept is proven, the existing locations are successful, the leadership team is strong, the systems and technology are in place, and the foundation has been built thoughtfully.

Now, they’re ready to grow.

With plans to expand from 2 to 5 Manhattan locations over the next 12 months , we are searching for talented hospitality professionals who want much more than their next restaurant management job.

This is an opportunity to join early, make an impact and grow into larger leadership responsibilities as the company expands.

We are currently recruiting for both General Manager and Kitchen Manager positions.

⭐ GENERAL MANAGER

We’re looking for a true hospitality leader — someone who can run a strong business while creating an environment where both guests and employees genuinely want to be.

The GM will take ownership of the overall restaurant operation, including guest experience, team leadership, hiring and training, scheduling, labor management, operational standards and financial performance.

This is a very hands-on leadership role .

We’re not looking for someone who wants to manage from an office. The right GM enjoys being on the floor, knows their team, recognizes regular guests, jumps in when needed and understands that great restaurant operations start with great people.

You should be equally comfortable talking about hospitality, culture and team development as you are discussing labor, scheduling, sales, productivity and restaurant performance.

‍ KITCHEN MANAGER

For the Kitchen Manager position, we’re looking for a strong BOH operator who loves organization, consistency and developing people.

You’ll oversee the daily kitchen operation and play an important role in maintaining the quality and operational standards that will allow this concept to successfully scale.

Responsibilities will include kitchen leadership, production and prep systems, food quality, sanitation, inventory, ordering, food cost, labor management, training and team development.

We want someone who understands that being a great Kitchen Manager isn't only about executing food correctly — it's about building a kitchen that runs well because the people, systems and standards are strong.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

For both positions, we’re particularly interested in candidates with 3+ years of restaurant management experience and a strong understanding of restaurant operations.

Ideally, you’ve had exposure to both FOH and BOH throughout your career and understand how the entire restaurant works as one operation.

Experience within QSR, fast casual, high-volume restaurants or growing multi-unit concepts is highly valuable.

At the same time, we’re very open to candidates coming from strong full-service hospitality backgrounds who are excited about bringing a higher level of hospitality, leadership and operational discipline into a fast-growing QSR environment.

The strongest candidates will be:

• Genuine hospitality people who love working with guests and teams
• Hands-on leaders who lead from the floor and kitchen
• Strong communicators who know how to motivate different personalities
• Excellent at hiring, training, coaching and retaining employees
• Organized and comfortable working within established systems
• Confident managing labor, scheduling, inventory and restaurant costs
• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, high-volume environment
• Accountable, solutions-oriented and calm under pressure
• Excited by restaurant openings and company growth
• Entrepreneurial enough to enjoy building something, while disciplined enough to follow strong systems
• Looking for a company where they can build a long-term career

WHY THIS OPPORTUNITY IS DIFFERENT

The timing is one of the most exciting parts of this opportunity.

You’re not joining an early-stage idea trying to figure out whether the concept works.

You’re joining a company with successful existing locations, strong financial backing, established leadership and a clear expansion plan.

At the same time, the company is still small enough that great people can make a real impact and be recognized for it.

As new locations open, the organization will naturally need additional leaders, trainers, opening teams and eventually multi-unit and senior operations talent .

For someone ambitious, this creates significant room to grow.

A strong GM or KM joining today could have a very different position within the organization as the company continues expanding.

COMPENSATION

$80,000–$100,000 base salary

Final compensation will be based on the specific position — General Manager or Kitchen Manager — as well as the candidate’s experience, background and overall fit.

We are especially interested in meeting hospitality professionals who have reached a point in their careers where they’re ready to take everything they’ve learned and apply it within a modern, ambitious and growing restaurant company.

If you love hospitality, understand operations, enjoy developing people and get excited about the idea of helping a company grow from 2 locations to 5 and beyond , we would love to meet you.
