This role oversees restaurant operations, events and catering, inventory management, purchasing, cash handling, facilities, and guest experience while maintaining company standards, financial controls, and a safe working environment.

As the events business continues to be a key driver of the company's growth, this position provides hands-on operational leadership to support the successful planning and execution of private events, working closely with the Events team to deliver outstanding guest experiences and operational excellence.

Working in partnership with the General Manager, People Operations, both leaders collaborate to ensure the overall success of the business and are expected to independently lead restaurant operations in the other's absence.

Review restaurant performance metrics and identify opportunities for improvement.

Guest Experience

Ensure exceptional guest service at both locations.
Resolve escalated guest concerns.
Monitor guest feedback and online reviews.
Continuously improve operational efficiency and hospitality standards.

Leadership

Support restaurant supervisors and shift leaders.
Provide operational leadership when the People Operations Manager is unavailable.
Partner with owners on operational improvements and special projects.

Compliance, Safety & Risk Management

Ensure both restaurant locations operate in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local health, food safety, alcohol service, and operational regulations.
Maintain compliance with Health Department requirements, food handling standards, Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) requirements, OSHA, and workplace safety practices.
Oversee restaurant licenses, permits, inspections, equipment maintenance, and operational compliance requirements.
Ensure cash handling procedures, banking processes, inventory controls, and security measures are consistently followed.
Conduct regular operational audits to ensure cleanliness, safety, and adherence to Brass Bear operating standards.
Investigate operational incidents and implement corrective actions to reduce business risk.
Partner with the People Operations Manager to maintain a safe workplace, support workers' compensation claims, and ensure employees receive required operational and safety training.

Shared Leadership Expectations

Both managers are expected to:

Work collaboratively across both Brass Bear locations.
Maintain open communication and shared accountability.
Support one another during vacations, illness, or absences.
Make independent operational decisions within their scope of responsibility.
Partner with ownership on strategic initiatives and continuous improvement.
Promote a positive, respectful, and accountable workplace culture.
Represent the Brass Bear brand and values in every interaction.

Proficiency with POS systems, inventory management, Microsoft Office or Google Workspace, and Slack.

Physical Requirements

Ability to stand and walk for extended periods.
Ability to lift up to 40 pounds occasionally.
Ability to travel regularly between both Brass Bear locations.
Ability to work evenings, weekends, and holidays as business needs require.

Success in this role will be measured by delivering exceptional guest experiences while maintaining operational efficiency, financial performance, and brand consistency across both Brass Bear locations.

Guest satisfaction and positive customer feedback.
Achievement of food, beverage, and labor cost targets.
Inventory accuracy and effective inventory control.
Reduction of food waste, spoilage, and unnecessary operational costs.
Successful health department inspections and ongoing regulatory compliance.
Accuracy of cash handling, banking, and financial controls.
Consistent restaurant cleanliness, presentation, and adherence to Brass Bear brand standards.
