Restaurant Manager

Restaurant Manager — Archer's Tavern
Locations: Centerville, OH & Kettering, OH Job Type: Full-Time, Salaried Compensation: Competitive salary performance bonus

Archer's Tavern is looking for an experienced, hands-on Restaurant Manager to lead day-to-day operations at one of our two Dayton-area locations. We're a growing, locally owned restaurant group that believes great leadership starts with a great work-life balance — which is why this role runs on a 5-day workweek, not the industry-standard six.

If you're a proven restaurant leader who wants real time off, a real bonus structure, and a real path forward, we want to talk to you.

What Makes This Role Different
5-Day Workweek — Guaranteed two days off, every week. No more six-day grinds.
Performance Bonus — Earn beyond your base salary tied to store performance.
Paid Time Off — 2 weeks of PTO in your first year, with increases as you grow with us.
Health Insurance — Medical coverage available to support you and your family.
401(k) Retirement Plan — Start planning for your future with a company-supported retirement plan.
Dining Discounts — Enjoy meals on us across all Archer's Tavern and Stone House Tavern locations.

What You'll Do
Oversee daily front-of-house and/or back-of-house operations, ensuring a consistent, high-quality guest experience
Lead, schedule, and develop a team of hourly staff, holding the team accountable to service and quality standards
Manage labor costs, inventory, and vendor relationships to hit budget targets
Handle guest concerns with professionalism and urgency
Ensure full compliance with health, safety, and alcohol service regulations
Partner with ownership on staffing, marketing initiatives, and operational improvements
Step in on the floor during peak hours to support the team and guests directly

What You Bring
2 years of restaurant management experience (full-service preferred)
Proven ability to lead and develop a team in a fast-paced environment
Strong grasp of P&L basics, labor management, and inventory control
Working knowledge of POS systems (Toast experience a plus)
Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, and holidays as needed
A guest-first mindset and a genuine passion for hospitality

Why Archer's Tavern
We're not a corporate chain — we're a locally owned restaurant group built on doing right by our team and our guests. As we continue to grow across the Dayton area, we're investing in leaders who want to grow with us.
