Some Restaurants Are Just Built Differently
You know the scene. The doors open—and it’s go-time. Music hums in the background, the smell of chargrilled meats drifts through the air, laughter echoes across the room, and the team moves like clockwork. This isn’t just service—it’s theatre.
This venue has been delivering this magic for nearly two decades. It’s not your average restaurant. It’s a high-volume, fast-turnover, high-reward type of place that somehow manages to still feel like family. It’s where careers are made, people grow, and guests come back again and again for the buzz, the warmth, and the unforgettable experience.
And now, they’re on the hunt for a Restaurant Manager. Not someone tied to a clipboard, but a leader on the floor—someone who comes alive in the heart of the action.
The Opportunity: A Step Up That Matters
If you’re an experienced Assistant Restaurant Manager who’s been craving more responsibility, autonomy, and a chance to truly lead, this is your opening.
You’ll be stepping into a full Restaurant Manager role, leading a team that includes meat runners, waitstaff, bartenders, and your fellow supervisors. The ownership and leadership team are right there with you, not in an office upstairs but on the floor, sleeves rolled up, working alongside you.
Think: real support, zero ego.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Leading from the front. Service is fast and theatrical. You’ll keep the tempo high and the team sharp.
- Overseeing busy sittings. 320 covers per seating, double sittings on weekends—yep, it’s full-on. But structured, well-drilled, and supported.
- Running the room. Floor plans, function logistics, table turnover—it’s all in your capable hands.
- Uplifting the team. Coaching junior staff, managing feedback, and leading like the kind of Manager you’d want to work with.
- Working with purpose. Whether helping a guest navigate the wine list or solving a mid-service hiccup, your presence sets the tone.

Expect structure, well-oiled systems, and a rhythm you’ll come to love. There’s also room to grow, move forward, and be mentored by leaders who’ve walked the same path—from meat runner to manager.
