Location: Cleveland, OH Compensation: $50,000 base salary + profit share as GM → $80,000 base salary + profit share as Regional Manager Job Type: Full-time, on-site
The short version
We're not just hiring a GM to keep the lights on. We're hiring the person who's going to run one of our Cleveland sports bars like they own it — and then earn the keys to more of them.
You'll start on the floor and learn our playbook through hands-on training. You'll take the reins as General Manager. And if you put up the numbers and build a team that runs without you, the path is wide open: Regional Manager overseeing multiple locations, and higher from there. This is a career, not a shift.
The path
Phase 1 — Train. You'll work inside one of our sports bars and go through our operations training program: opening and closing, inventory and ordering, scheduling, cost controls, POS, and the day-to-day rhythm of a busy bar on a game night. You'll learn how we run things so you can eventually teach it.
Phase 2 — Run it (General Manager). You take full ownership of the bar: your team, your P&L, your standards. Hiring, training, scheduling, cost of goods, guest experience, game-day programming, and hitting your revenue and profit targets. $50,000 base salary plus profit share — the better the bar does, the better you do.
Phase 3 — Scale (Regional Manager). Perform, and you step up to oversee multiple locations, coach other GMs, and roll out the playbook across the region. $80,000 base salary plus profit share. From there, senior leadership is on the table for the right operator.
What you'll own as General Manager
- Running a high-volume sports bar profitably, day in and day out
- Hiring, training, scheduling, and leading your front- and back-of-house team
- Managing cost of goods, labor, and inventory to hit margin targets
- Delivering a consistently great guest experience, especially on game days and peak nights
- Driving revenue through service standards, events, and local promotion
- Owning your P&L and reporting on your numbers
What we're looking for
- 2+ years managing a bar, restaurant, or high-volume hospitality venue (AGM or GM level preferred)
- A real handle on the numbers — you understand labor cost, cost of goods, and how to protect a margin
- A leader people want to work for — you build teams, not just schedules
- Comfortable in a fast, loud, full-house environment; sports bar experience is a big plus
- Hungry for growth and willing to earn it — this role is built for someone who wants to run a region, not just a room
- Open availability including nights, weekends, and game days
Why this role
- A genuine, performance-based promotion track — we tell you exactly what "great" looks like and reward it
- Profit share at every level, so your pay scales with the business you build
- A growing hospitality group with a proven playbook and real room to move up
- The chance to build something and get paid on what you build
Pay: $50,000.00 - $95,000.00 per year
Benefits:
- Employee discount
- Paid time off
- Paid training
Work Location: In person
