Restaurant Manager – Scratch Kitchen | Food-Driven Culture

We’re looking for a hands-on Restaurant Manager who is passionate about food, thrives in a scratch kitchen environment, and takes pride in delivering an exceptional dining experience from the kitchen to the table.

In this role, you’ll partner with the management team to lead the restaurant with a strong focus on food quality, team development, and creating an experience that guests can taste and feel.

This is an opportunity for someone who understands that great hospitality starts with great food.

Deliver Memorable Guest Experiences

Engage with guests, gather feedback, and ensure every visit exceeds expectations. Take pride in creating experiences that keep guests coming back.

Develop and Inspire the Team

Coach and support both culinary and service teams. Help build a culture focused on accountability, pride in the product, and continuous growth.

Drive Daily Operations

Assist in managing day-to-day operations including service execution, cleanliness, and efficiency while maintaining high standards across the board.

Support Financial Performance

Help manage labor, food cost, and overall performance by making smart, quality-focused decisions that support long-term success.

• Competitive salary + bonus potential
• Comprehensive health benefits
• 401(k)
• Paid time off
• Strong growth and advancement opportunities
• People-first culture with a focus on work-life balance
• A scratch kitchen environment where food quality truly matters

What We’re Looking For

• 2–4+ years of restaurant management experience in a high-volume, full-service environment
• Passion for food quality, scratch kitchens, and the guest dining experience
• Strong leadership skills with the ability to develop and motivate teams
• Solid understanding of both front and back of house operations
