General Manager - High-Volume Entertainment | New Opening

$85k - $95k

The Restaurant Zone

Job Description

Job Description

A brand-new hospitality and live entertainment concept in Manhattan is seeking an exceptional General Manager to lead the venue through its grand opening and spearhead all daily operations. Developed by a highly respected group of veteran operators, this concept blends a premium beverage program with a curated live entertainment experience.

This is a high-profile opportunity for a presence-driven, sophisticated leader to run a premier late-night venue in a highly competitive market.

What's In It For You:

  • Competitive Base Salary: $85-95K plus performance bonus
  • Competitive Benefits Package
  • Creative Control: Beyond standard operations, you have a direct hand in shaping the brand identity, from cocktail menu creation to the aesthetic choices and glassware, and a career-defining launch on your resume.

What We Seek:

  • Opening Experience (Required): Must have hands-on experience launching new venues, navigating NYC permits, setting up vendors, and hiring opening staff.
  • Experience: 4+ years as a General Manager in high-volume NYC nightlife, upscale cocktail lounges, or premium high-energy bars. Live music venue background is a plus, not required.
  • Product Focus: Strong interest and expertise in beverage curation, mixology trends, and presentation aesthetics.
  • Certifications: Active NYC DOH Food Protection and New York ATAP certifications required.

For immediate consideration, APPLY TODAY!
