Restaurant Manager

Restaurant Manager – Upscale Casual Dining

$75,000–$85,000 Base Salary + Bonus | Growth Opportunity

Are you a hands-on restaurant leader looking for a company where you can actually grow?

We are recruiting a Restaurant Manager for a growing upscale casual restaurant group known for scratch-made food, strong hospitality, and developing leaders from within.

This is a highly visible leadership role for someone who enjoys being on the floor, developing people, interacting with guests, and helping run the entire restaurant—not managing from an office.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead day-to-day restaurant operations and deliver a strong guest experience

  • Coach, train, and develop FOH and BOH employees

  • Lead shifts and remain highly visible on the restaurant floor

  • Support hiring, onboarding, scheduling, and labor management

  • Handle guest recovery and resolve operational challenges

  • Partner closely with the General Manager and Executive Chef

  • Maintain high standards for service, food quality, cleanliness, and safety

  • Help create a positive, accountable, high-performing culture

  • What We’re Looking For

  • 2+ years of restaurant management experience

  • Full-service restaurant background

  • Experience in restaurants generating approximately $3M+ in annual sales

  • Strong hospitality and guest-service mindset

  • Proven ability to train and develop employees

  • Comfortable supporting both FOH and BOH operations

  • Hands-on leadership style

  • Stable work history and demonstrated career progression

  • Professional communication and presentation

  • Interest in building a long-term career with a growing restaurant company

  • Future relocation flexibility is a plus, but not required

  • Compensation & Benefits

  • $75,000–$85,000 base salary

  • Annual bonus opportunity

  • Medical benefits

  • Paid time off

  • Structured leadership training

  • Strong internal promotion culture

  • Opportunities to advance into General Manager and multi-unit leadership

  • The company opens approximately 4–5 restaurants each year and fills the majority of its leadership positions through internal promotion. If you’re looking for a restaurant management role where you can lead people, build your career, and have a realistic path to greater responsibility, we’d like to speak with you.
