General Manager – High Volume Pizzeria & Restaurant
Summit, NJ | Full-Time
---
About Us
We are a community-rooted Italian restaurant & pizzeria with deep family heritage and serious growth momentum. We're part of a hospitality group, owned by a multi-brand restaurant operator executing an ambitious expansion plan across NJ — currently operating two locations, with a third on the way.
We run a high-volume, multi-channel operation (dine-in, private event room, takeout, delivery, and catering) and are building the infrastructure to scale. We do things right: strong systems, high standards, and a culture built on genuine hospitality.

The Role
We're hiring a General Manager to take full ownership of our location in Summit, NJ. This is a true P&L role — you'll report directly to the CEO & Founder and be the highest-ranking operator in the building.
You'll oversee two direct reports: the Assistant General Manager (Front of House) and the Kitchen Manager. You'll be accountable for financial performance, team development, guest experience, and building the systems that allow us to scale.
For the right person, this is more than a job — it's a seat at the table as we grow.
