About the Role:

We are a fast-paced, high-volume restaurant concept with a hyper-focused, simple menu. We are seeking a hands-on, high-urgency General Manager to take complete ownership of operations, staff development, and financial performance.

This is not an "office job." We are looking for an operational leader who leads from the front, commands the kitchen line during peak rushes, and actively manages shift labor to protect the restaurant's bottom line.

What We Offer:

Competitive Base Salary: $70,000/year.

Bonus Structure: Up to $10,000 annually based on hitting clear food cost, labor, and quality targets.

Time Off: 2 weeks of vacation per year (1 week fully paid).

Comprehensive Paid Training: 1 month of dedicated training at an hourly rate of $25/hour, conducted at one of our established training locations.

Key Responsibilities:

Operations & Quality Control: Ensure every plate meets exact presentation, portioning, and quality specs. Zero tolerance for cutting corners.

Labor & Payroll Management: Build and manage schedules tightly. Actively monitor peak and off-peak hours, stepping into operational roles (line/floor) as needed to keep hourly payroll in check.

Financial Control: Oversee daily banking, cash handling, food ordering, and inventory control to maintain strict food-cost margins.

Team Leadership: Handle all hiring, training, performance management, and necessary terminations. Cultivate a team culture of urgency and high standards.

Cleanliness & Compliance: Maintain immaculate store cleanliness and guarantee 100% compliance with all local Health Department standards.

Requirements:

Experience: Minimum of 2 years of experience as a Restaurant General Manager (GM) is strictly required.

Schedule: Ability and willingness to work a minimum of 50 hours per week, including mandatory peak shifts (nights and weekends).

Training Mobility: Must be able to travel to a designated training store for the first month of employment.

Skillset: Strong financial acumen (P&L understanding, labor tracking, inventory metrics) combined with a grit-first, hands-on leadership style.

Pay: From $25.00 per hour

Work Location: In person
