Restaurant General Manager

Oceans of flavor, oceans of fun, something for everyone!

Oceanside Beach Bar & Grill is seeking an experienced, hands-on General Manager to lead our Ormond Beach location.

Oceanside is a family-owned and operated restaurant company established in Flagler Beach in 2011 and expanded to Ormond Beach in 2024. As we continue to grow, we are looking for a strong restaurant leader who can take ownership of the day-to-day operation while maintaining the food, service, culture, and guest experience that have made Oceanside successful.

This is not a desk-management position. Our General Manager is expected to be present, engaged, and actively involved in both front- and back-of-house operations. The ideal candidate is comfortable leading a high-volume, fast-paced restaurant and knows how to balance great hospitality with strong financial and operational performance.

What You'll Be Responsible For

As General Manager, you will have overall responsibility for the successful operation of the Ormond Beach restaurant, including:

• Leading and developing the restaurant's management and hourly teams
• Overseeing daily front-of-house and back-of-house operations
• Recruiting, interviewing, hiring, onboarding, and retaining great employees
• Creating effective schedules based on business needs and labor goals
• Training, coaching, evaluating, and holding employees accountable
• Maintaining excellent guest service and resolving guest concerns professionally
• Monitoring labor costs and making real-time operational adjustments
• Managing food and beverage costs, waste, and other controllable expenses
• Reviewing sales, budgets, forecasts, and restaurant performance
• Maintaining restaurant cleanliness, organization, and facility standards
• Ensuring compliance with Florida food safety, sanitation, alcohol-service, and workplace safety requirements
• Working with the kitchen and leadership team on food and beverage menu planning
• Coordinating and executing banquets, large parties, and special events
• Supporting promotions, local marketing, and community involvement
• Maintaining appropriate inventory and operational controls
• Communicating effectively with ownership and the management team
• Identifying problems before they become bigger problems and taking ownership of solutions
• Creating a positive, professional, accountable workplace culture

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who doesn't just "manage shifts" — we're looking for someone who can lead a restaurant.

The ideal candidate will have:

• Proven management experience in a high-volume, full-service restaurant
• Previous General Manager or senior restaurant management experience strongly preferred
• Strong understanding of restaurant financials, including labor, food cost, sales forecasting, and budgeting
• Experience managing both FOH and BOH teams
• Strong leadership skills with the ability to coach, motivate, and hold employees accountable
• Excellent communication and decision-making skills
• Strong organizational and time-management skills
• The ability to remain calm and make sound decisions during high-volume service
• A hospitality-first mindset and strong guest-recovery skills
• Experience recruiting, hiring, training, and retaining restaurant employees
• Ability to work nights, weekends, holidays, and peak business periods as required
• Reliable transportation
• High school diploma/GED or equivalent

Most importantly, we're looking for a leader who takes ownership. Someone who notices what needs to be done, communicates effectively, follows through, and sets the standard for the rest of the team.
