Job Description
Job Description
Location: Lake Geneva Area, WI
Compensation: $75,000–$80,000 base plus profit sharing
Employment Type: Full-Time
Position Overview
A destination restaurant near Lake Geneva is seeking an experienced, owner-minded Restaurant General Manager / Operating Partner to lead a complete operational rebuild.
This is not a maintenance role. The right person will take ownership of the business, build systems and training programs, lead both FOH and BOH, improve financial performance, and help shape a farm-to-table, scratch-cooking concept into a premier regional destination.
Responsibilities
- Lead all front- and back-of-house operations
- Build SOPs, training programs, and accountability systems
- Recruit, coach, and develop restaurant leaders
- Improve food cost, labor, ticket times, and overall execution
- Own budgeting, P&L, inventory, scheduling, and purchasing
- Develop seasonal menus and support local sourcing
- Strengthen guest experience, culture, and operational consistency
- Partner with ownership while independently running the business
Qualifications
- Proven experience as a General Manager, Executive Chef, Chef-Operator, or similar restaurant leader
- Experience opening, rebuilding, or turning around a restaurant
- Strong FOH and BOH leadership experience
- P&L, labor, food cost, and inventory management experience
- Experience creating SOPs and training programs
- Strong culinary background with seasonal or scratch-made menus
- Experience in an independent restaurant, resort, country club, boutique hotel, or destination concept preferred
This role offers a base salary plus performance-based profit sharing, with potential for increased long-term upside.
The ideal candidate wants more than a management job. They want to build something, create a lasting restaurant identity, and share in the success they help produce.
