Restaurant Manager

DESCRIPTION

About Local Station

Local Station is a contemporary Southern kitchen and bar rooted in the flavors of Northeast Georgia. We craft seasonal menus around locally sourced ingredients, deliver genuine hospitality, and foster a team culture built on pride, accountability, and growth. We are part of Jack's Brand Restaurant Group, a family-owned hospitality company with five concepts across the region.

The Opportunity
We're looking for a driven, service-minded Restaurant Manager ready to run their own restaurant. This is a salaried role leading Local Station day to day: the team, the guest experience, and the numbers. It's an ideal next step for an assistant manager or strong FOH leader ready for full ownership. You'll work directly with ownership, and as you grow, have the opportunity take on broader responsibility across our five concepts.

What You'll Own

• Lead and develop the front-of-house team across all shifts, including hiring, training, scheduling, and performance management
• Set and maintain the standard for guest experience - resolving issues promptly and modeling genuine, attentive hospitality
• Oversee daily opening and closing procedures, cash handling, and end-of-night reporting
• Collaborate with the kitchen on menu execution, service pacing, and communication between front- and back-of-house
• Monitor labor and beverage costs, identify variances, and drive team accountability
• Maintain compliance with all health, safety, and responsible alcohol service regulations
• Cultivate relationships with regular guests and drive retention through personalized hospitality
• Partner with ownership on private events, seasonal programming, and ongoing operational improvements

What We're Looking For

• 2+ years in a full-service restaurant, including time in a leadership or supervisory role
• A natural leader who earns trust through consistency, communication, and a positive presence
• Comfortable with labor scheduling, shift reporting, and cost awareness; we'll train you on the full P&L
• Warm, professional presence with a genuine passion for hospitality
• Strong communication skills and composure under pressure
• Ability to lead and motivate a team through consistency and example
• Proficiency with POS systems; experience with Resy or similar reservation platforms a plus
• Food Handler and/or ServSafe Manager certification
• Flexible availability including evenings, weekends, and holidays

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary: $45,000-$60,000, based on experience
• Quarterly performance bonus tied to labor, food cost, and guest-experience targets
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid time off
• Dining privileges across all Jack's Brand concepts
• A real growth path: Local Station manager today, broader responsibility across a five-concept group as you grow

REQUIREMENTS

• 2+ years of restaurant management experience
• Strong leadership and communication skills
• Knowledge of POS systems and basic financials
• Ability to work a flexible schedule including weekends

Jack's Brand Restaurant Group is a family-owned hospitality company based in Northeast Georgia, operating five distinct concepts across the region: Local Station, Jack's, Jack's Public House, ReBar, and Traditions Golf and Country Club. Founded in 2007, the group has grown by staying true to a simple belief - that great food, genuine hospitality, and a strong sense of community belong together.

Each concept has its own identity, but they share a common standard: take pride in what you serve and take care of the people you serve it to. We invest in our teams, promote from within, and build careers - not just jobs.
