GENERAL MANAGER

Position Summary

Vincenzo’s Ristorante is seeking an experienced and decisive General Manager to lead front-of-house operations at our Lincoln location. This is a hands-on leadership role for a seasoned hospitality professional who thrives in a dynamic, full-service restaurant environment and knows how to build culture, hold standards, and bring out the best in a team.

Key Responsibilities

Front of House Leadership

• Hire, train, schedule, and manage all front-of-house staff including servers, hosts, bussers and bar team

• Set and enforce service standards to deliver a consistently excellent guest experience

• Maintain a daily floor presence during service — this is an active, visible leadership role

• Address guest concerns promptly and professionally

• Foster a positive team culture with clear accountability

Operations & Administration

• Oversee day-to-day restaurant operations and opening/closing procedures

• Serve as payroll liaison, ensuring accurate timekeeping and submission

• Manage scheduling to optimize labor while maintaining coverage standards

• Monitor and manage front-of-house supply inventory and ordering

• Ensure compliance with health, safety, and food service regulations

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner closely with the Kitchen Manager/Head Chef on daily operations, communication, and service flow

• Maintain a respectful, productive working relationship with all back-of-house leadership

• Collaborate on special events, seasonal menu rollouts, and revenue-driving initiatives

What We’re Looking For

Required Experience

• 3-5 years of restaurant management experience, with meaningful time in a General Manager or Lead role

• Proven track record leading front-of-house teams in a full-service, dine-in environment

• Experience managing scheduling, payroll processes, inventory and administrative duties

• Strong working knowledge of POS systems, inventory management, and reporting

• Will be required to pass the Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM) certification requirements within 30-days of being hired, if not already a CFPM certificate holder

Leadership Profile

The right candidate is someone who leads with presence and confidence, who doesn’t wait to be told what needs fixing. You set the tone, you hold the standard, and your team respects you for it.

• Commanding leadership style with a calm, solutions-first mindset

• Ability to build trust with staff through fairness, consistency, and follow-through

• Strong conflict resolution and interpersonal communication skills

• High emotional intelligence — self-aware, resilient, and steady under pressure

• Comfortable working alongside strong, passionate personalities and finding common ground

Personal Qualities

• You take ownership without being asked

• You can read a room and adjust — whether it’s a quiet Tuesday or a packed gameday Saturday

• You care about the guest experience and the team delivering it
