Confidential Search: Restaurant General Manager - (Needham, MA)

A premier opportunity to lead a brand-new dining destination.

A growing hospitality group is opening an exciting new restaurant concept in Needham, Massachusetts. We are conducting a confidential search for an exceptional General Manager to lead this approximately 165-seat operation (115 seats indoors, 50 outdoors) from the ground up.

This is a rare chance to shape the culture, operations, and guest experience of a new venue backed by an established and respected restaurant group.

About the Role

As General Manager, you will own the full operation of our restaurant. You will build and lead a high-performing team, deliver an outstanding guest experience, and drive the financial success of the business from day one.

This position is ideal for a leader who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is excited by the unique challenge of a new-restaurant opening.

Key Responsibilities

  • Operational Leadership: Oversee daily front-of-house and back-of-house operations across a 115-seat indoor and 50-seat outdoor venue.
  • Team Building: Recruit, train, and develop a talented staff, fostering a positive and professional workplace culture.
  • Financial Management: Manage budgets, control costs, and analyze sales reporting to identify trends and drive profitability.
  • Guest Experience: Set and uphold the highest standards of service to ensure every guest leaves eager to return.
  • Opening Execution: Partner with ownership and the culinary team to bring a successful launch to life.

What We're Looking For

  • Proven experience as a General Manager in a high-volume, full-service restaurant.
  • New-restaurant opening experience is highly preferred.
  • A track record of building and retaining strong teams.
  • Strong financial acumen, including budgeting, cost control, and P&L management.
  • A genuine passion for hospitality and the guest experience.
  • Local candidates or those within a reasonable commute of Needham are strongly preferred.

Compensation and Benefits

  • Competitive Salary: Commensurate with experience.
  • Health and Dental Insurance
  • Paid Time Off: Five days after the first six months, increasing to ten days by the end of year one, plus sick days.
  • Food Discounts: Generous discounts at Taberna and across the group's sister concepts.
  • Growth Potential: Join a multi-concept group with opportunities for long-term advancement.

Apply in Confidence

This is a confidential search managed exclusively by Gecko Hospitality. Your candidacy will be handled with the utmost discretion.

Finding the right leader is about building a future, not just filling a role. If you are an accomplished hospitality professional ready to take the helm of an exciting new concept, we want to hear from you.
