- 3+ years of experience as a GM or AGM in a high-volume restaurant/bar ($2M+ preferred)
- Strong bar knowledge (craft cocktails, liquor cost control)
- Proven ability to manage labor and hit financial targets
- Leadership presence - someone staff respects, not just likes
- High standards with the ability to coach and develop others
- Comfortable working nights, weekends, and holidays
What Sets You Apart:
- Experience with Toast POS or similar systems
- Track record of building and retaining strong teams
- Ability to step into an established operation and elevate it
