Creating weekly plans and staying ahead of operational needs
Ensuring exceptional guest experiences every single day
Maintaining food safety and operational standards
Solving problems quickly and making sound decisions under pressure
Working closely with leadership to achieve restaurant goals
Rolling up your sleeves and supporting the kitchen whenever needed

What Makes You a Great Fit

We're looking for someone who brings both leadership and operational excellence.

Required Qualifications

Previous General Manager experience is required
Strong restaurant leadership background in a high-volume environment
Comfortable working in and leading a kitchen during busy periods
Excellent organizational and planning skills
Strong administrative abilities, including scheduling, inventory, reporting, and labor management
Proven ability to coach, motivate, and hold teams accountable
Strong communication and conflict-resolution skills
Ability to multitask while maintaining attention to detail
ServSafe Certification (or ability to obtain)

What We Offer

$70,000–$72,000 annual salary
Performance-based bonus program
Health benefits
Paid Time Off
Dining discounts
Leadership development opportunities
A supportive ownership team that believes in promoting from within
The opportunity to make a real impact on a growing, family-owned company

Why Old Southern BBQ?

We're passionate about great food, genuine hospitality, and taking care of our people. Our leaders aren't afraid to work alongside their teams, celebrate successes, and continuously improve.

If you're looking for a place where your leadership matters, your ideas are valued, and every day brings a new challenge, we'd love to talk with you.
