Restaurant Manager – Upscale Casual Dining
$75,000–$85,000 Base Salary + Bonus
We are seeking an experienced Restaurant Manager with a background in upscale or polished casual, high-volume full-service dining.
This opportunity is with a growing restaurant group known for scratch-made food, strong hospitality standards, and developing leaders from within. We are looking for someone who has already demonstrated success in a comparable restaurant environment and wants to build a long-term career with a growing organization.
What We’re Looking For
- 3+ years of restaurant management experience
- Current or recent upscale casual, polished casual, steakhouse, or comparable full-service experience
- Experience in restaurants generating approximately $3M+ in annual sales
- Stable work history with demonstrated progression and increasing responsibility
- Strong track record of training, coaching, and developing employees
- Experience with scheduling, labor management, guest recovery, and daily restaurant operations
- Comfortable supporting both FOH and BOH
- Professional, hands-on leadership style
- Candidates coming primarily from fast food, quick service, fast casual, or lower-volume casual dining will generally not align with this opportunity.
The Role
- Lead daily restaurant operations and maintain high hospitality standards
- Coach and develop FOH and BOH team members
- Remain highly visible on the restaurant floor during service
- Support hiring, onboarding, scheduling, and labor management
- Handle guest recovery and resolve operational challenges
- Partner closely with the General Manager and Executive Chef
- Maintain standards for service, food quality, cleanliness, and safety
- Help build a positive, accountable, high-performing culture
Compensation & Growth
- $75,000–$85,000 base salary
- Annual bonus opportunity
- Medical benefits
- Paid time off
- Structured leadership training
- Strong internal promotion culture
- Advancement opportunities into General Manager and multi-unit leadership
The company continues to open new restaurants each year and fills a significant portion of its leadership positions through internal promotion.
If you have a strong track record in upscale full-service restaurant management and are looking for a company where performance, stability, and leadership development matter, we’d like to speak with you.
