Job Description

Seeking experienced Restaurant General Manager candidates to fuel growth and expansion for this innovative, creative and progressive management and development company focused on restaurant, entertainment and bar development.

To the uninitiated, this emerging concept could be seen as the next chain built on the combination of eating, drinking, playing games and watching sports on multiple TVs, but this concept goes much further, combining a bowling alley, Ping-Pong hall, an “old school” video arcade and private karaoke rooms with a food-forward gastro diner and a boutique cocktail bar — all in about 24,000 square feet.

“First and foremost, we are a restaurant,” noting that the entertainment side accounts for about 10 percent of sales. Annual sales average upward of $6.5 million, hitting the $10 million mark in some larger markets.

The chef-driven menu features diner fare and everything is made in-house from scratch. There is a line of specialty burgers and craft sandwiches, as well daily “green-plate,” i.e. vegetarian, and blue-plate specials. No entrée is over $20. Beverages include milkshakes, a diner mainstay, as well as wine, beer and various types of spiked “punch bowls,” served individually or for a group.

The first restaurant opened in Denver two years ago, and now there are units in Portland, Austin and Detroit. Next year, units are scheduled for Chicago, Indianapolis and Cleveland with growth accelerating to five to eight openings in 2016.

Requirements Ideal candidate will have the following:

• 3+ years General Manager experience in a polished casual to fine dining establishment.
• Ability to establish and execute superior business operations.
• Experienced in strategic forecasting and cost controls.
• Act as an ambassador for the vision, the brand and the direction of the Company.
• Supports a culture that focuses on the guest experience and cultivates an environment rich in integrity of product and service.
• Emphasizes ongoing training and development of Managers and staff.

Salary Range & Benefits

• $65,000 – $80,000/yr. based on experience
• UNPARRELELLED growth potential
• Obtainable bonus program based on EBITDAR and guest feedback results
• Benefits package including medical, dental and life insurance
