Front of House Restaurant Manager
Every Sunday and Monday off. Every major holiday closed. A leadership role at one of Stark County's most celebrated restaurants.
Social at the Stone House is an award-winning, independently owned restaurant housed in a beautifully restored 1800s stone home. We've been named one of America's Restaurants of the Year by USA Today and earned multiple OpenTable Diner's Choice Awards for our creative cuisine, handcrafted cocktails, and exceptional hospitality.
We're looking for an energetic, hospitality-driven Front of House Manager to lead our service team. This is a hands-on leadership role reporting directly to the owner, for someone who loves the floor, takes pride in a great guest experience, and wants to help shape one of the area's most respected independent restaurants.
What You'll Do
- Lead, train, and inspire the front-of-house team, and help recruit and hire as we grow
- Run day-to-day FOH operations: floor management, opening/closing, inventory and ordering
- Manage the schedule and labor costs, and monitor daily sales alongside the owner
- Set the tone for hospitality: welcome guests, build regulars, and resolve concerns with care
- Uphold health, safety, sanitation, and liquor compliance standards
What We're Looking For
- 2+ years of management or supervisory experience in a full-service restaurant (upscale experience a plus, not a requirement)
- A genuine passion for hospitality and guest experience
- A calm, solution-oriented presence in a fast-paced environment
- Experience with scheduling, daily operations, and POS systems
- Availability to work evenings and weekends (remember: we're closed Sundays and Mondays)
Compensation & Perks
- $45,000 - $55,000 salary based on experience, plus performance incentives and a yearly bonus
- Closed every Sunday and Monday: a true, consistent two-day weekend, rare in this industry
- Closed New Year's Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day
- Paid time off
- Employee dining discount
- Supportive ownership that values your ideas, with no corporate layers between you and the decision-maker
- A beautiful, upscale work environment you'll be proud to show off
If you're looking for more than just a management title and want to make a real impact at an independent restaurant that's going places, we'd love to meet you.
Pay: $45,000.00 - $55,000.00 per year
Benefits:
- Employee discount
- Paid time off
Application Question(s):
- This is a salaried position paying $45,000 to $55,000 per year based on experience, with a performance bonus. Are you comfortable with this range?

- How many years of management or supervisory experience do you have in a full-service restaurant (table service with servers, not fast food or fast casual)?
- Have you worked in an upscale, fine dining, or chef-driven restaurant in any role?
- Do you have an active ServSafe, TIPS, or equivalent alcohol/food safety certification?
