$90,000–$100,000 Base Salary + Bonus | Targeted GM Advancement

We are seeking an experienced Assistant General Manager / senior restaurant leader for a high-volume upscale casual restaurant.

This role is specifically designed for someone with the background and leadership ability to develop into a General Manager position, potentially within approximately 6 months based on performance and readiness.

We are looking for a proven leader from an upscale casual, polished casual, steakhouse, or comparable high-volume full-service environment who already understands how to run the business and is ready for greater ownership.

What We’re Looking For

• 4+ years of progressive restaurant management experience

• Current or recent AGM, Senior Manager, Restaurant Manager, or GM experience

• Upscale/polished casual or comparable high-volume full-service background

• Experience with restaurants generating approximately $8M+ annually preferred

• Strong employment stability and progressive responsibility

• Full P&L and financial understanding

• Strong labor, scheduling, inventory, and cost-control experience

• Proven success developing managers and hourly employees

• Comfortable leading both FOH and supporting BOH operations

• Strong guest presence and hospitality mindset

• Professional, hands-on, humble leadership style

• Ready to develop toward General Manager responsibility quickly

The Opportunity

• Lead day-to-day restaurant operations alongside the General Manager

• Develop and coach the management and hourly teams

• Take ownership of labor, service, staffing, guest recovery, and operational performance

• Partner closely with culinary leadership

• Learn Burton’s systems, culture, and operating standards

• Prepare to take on full General Manager responsibility as readiness is demonstrated

Compensation & Growth

• $90,000–$100,000 base salary

• Bonus opportunity

• Medical benefits

• Paid time off

• Structured leadership training

• Strong internal-promotion culture

• Targeted development toward GM within approximately 6 months

• Continued opportunities as the company expands

This is not intended for someone looking to remain an AGM long-term. The goal is to identify a proven restaurant leader who can learn the organization, demonstrate strong performance, and become a future General Manager.

If you’re already operating near the GM level and are looking for a company where there is a realistic path to your own restaurant, we’d like to speak with you.
