Restaurant Manager
Full-time
Puesto - Mission Valley
About Us
Founded in 2012 by food-obsessed brothers, Puesto has grown from a single neighborhood fine casual taquería into a familia of 800+ team members, and we're just getting started.
Today, we operate nine restaurants across California and continue to grow. At Puesto, every shift brings a lively, welcoming atmosphere built on outstanding food, expertly balanced cocktails, and memorable hospitality. We're so devoted to craft that we opened our own brewery to brew our beer ourselves.
Most importantly, we believe great teams are built by hiring for attitude and aptitude, training with intention, and promoting from within. When our people grow, we grow.
About You
- You work hard, lead with accountability, and bring positive energy wherever you go.
- You care deeply about hospitality and take pride in creating experiences guests remember. You see opportunity in challenges, stay curious, and believe every day is a chance to learn something new and teach something, too.
- You want more than just a job. You're looking to build a meaningful career in hospitality with a company that invests in your growth.
- Restaurant experience is a plus, but we care most about strong leadership, a team-first mindset, and the drive to bring out the best in those around you.
What You Bring
- 2+ years of high-volume Restaurant Manager experience in a well-rated, service-driven restaurant
- Excellent communication and critical thinking decision-making skills
- Experience hiring, training, and mentoring a diverse hourly team
- Familiarity with restaurant systems such as TOAST, CTUIT, OpenTable, and TripleSeat
- Experience in inventory control and food safety practices within the food industry
- A positive, self-motivated disposition committed to excellence and team success
- A passion for authentic Mexican cuisine & culture, and a genuine appreciation for craftsmanship—from handmade blue corn tortillas to thoughtfully crafted margaritas
Why Puesto?
- Competitive pay above market average, because great people deserve it
- Hands-on coaching and mentorship from best-in-class leaders
- 50% off dining at every Puesto location
- Comprehensive healthcare benefits
- Real growth opportunities with a company ready to invest in your future
