GENERAL MANAGER

Gastonia, NC

Starting at $68,000 + Monthly Bonus

You've Already Proven You Can Run a Restaurant. Now It's Time to Join a Company That Can Take You Further.


You know what it takes to lead a busy restaurant.

You've worked through staffing challenges, managed food and labor costs, developed managers and stepped in wherever your team needed you. You've carried the responsibility-and delivered the results.

Now you deserve an opportunity that recognizes what you bring to the table.


We are searching for an experienced General Manager for a successful, high-energy restaurant in Gastonia. This opportunity is backed by a nationally recognized organization with strong systems, excellent benefits and continued growth throughout the country.


This is not a role for someone who wants to manage from the office.

It is for a hands-on leader who enjoys building teams, developing people and creating the kind of restaurant where employees want to work and guests want to return.

Why This Opportunity Deserves Your Attention

  • Starting salary of $68,000 or more , based on experience
  • Monthly performance bonus
  • Weekly pay
  • Paid time off and sick time
  • Eight paid holidays annually
  • Medical, dental, vision and prescription coverage
  • Company-paid life and disability insurance
  • 401(k) with employer match
  • Tuition reimbursement
  • Employee assistance and financial wellness resources
  • Pet insurance
  • Structured training and ongoing leadership development
  • Real advancement opportunities with a growing organization

What You'll Have the Opportunity to Do


As the General Manager, you will lead the restaurant as if it were your own business.

You will build the management team, establish expectations and create a culture where people understand their responsibilities and feel supported in reaching them. You will also have the systems, training and resources needed to protect profitability and maintain consistently strong operations.

Your responsibilities will include:
  • Leading the restaurant's daily operations and overall performance
  • Recruiting, training and retaining managers and team members
  • Coaching managers and preparing future leaders for advancement
  • Managing sales, labor, food costs and controllable expenses
  • Reviewing financial performance and developing improvement plans
  • Creating effective schedules based on business needs
  • Maintaining high standards for food quality, service and cleanliness
  • Building accountability while keeping the team motivated and engaged
  • Creating a welcoming experience for every guest
  • Ensuring compliance with company policies and safety requirements
  • Representing the restaurant professionally within the Gastonia community
What Will Make You Successful Here


You do not need to be the loudest person in the restaurant to be an effective leader.

But you do need to be present, consistent and willing to have the conversations that move your team forward.

The strongest candidates will bring:
  • Five or more years of restaurant or retail management experience
  • General Manager or high-level Assistant General Manager experience
  • A proven ability to develop managers and hourly team members
  • Experience managing restaurant financials, labor and food costs
  • Strong communication, organization and problem-solving skills
  • The ability to remain steady when the restaurant gets busy
  • Comfort learning and using restaurant technology
  • Flexibility to work days, evenings and weekends
  • A high school diploma or equivalent
  • A valid driver's license



Experience with restaurant openings or local marketing is helpful but not required.

You Know What You're Capable of. The Right Company Will Help You Build on It.

If you are ready to lead a strong team, earn a competitive salary and join an organization where growth creates opportunity, we should talk.
