Restaurant Manager – One Door North
Experienced Hospitality Leader Wanted

North Park, San Diego
Full-Time | $71,000–$90,000 DOE + Performance Bonuses

About Us

One Door North isn't your average restaurant. Inspired by the spirit of adventure and the great outdoors, we're a lively, glamping-inspired restaurant and bar serving chef-driven food, craft cocktails, and genuine hospitality. We create experiences that bring people together and turn first-time guests into regulars.

As an independent restaurant group, we care deeply about our culture, our team, and our neighborhood. We move quickly, value creativity, and believe great restaurants are built by leaders who set high standards and lead by example.

The Opportunity

We're seeking an experienced Restaurant Manager with a demonstrated history of leading successful teams, delivering exceptional guest experiences, and driving operational excellence.

This role is ideal for someone who has already managed busy restaurant operations and can confidently lead a team from day one. We're looking for a leader with a proven track record, not simply management potential.

The ideal candidate has a history of leaving restaurants stronger than they found them.

What You'll Do

Lead nightly service with confidence, urgency, and professionalism.
Set the tone for hospitality and create memorable guest experiences.
Coach, motivate, and hold team members accountable to high standards.
Recruit, hire, train, and develop front-of-house staff.
Oversee scheduling, labor management, and daily floor operations.
Monitor service execution, cleanliness, and overall guest satisfaction.
Address guest concerns with empathy, professionalism, and sound judgment.
Partner with ownership and leadership on private events, promotions, and business initiatives.
Support inventory controls, ordering, and operational systems.
Ensure consistency in every detail, from music and ambiance to service timing and execution.

Who You Are

You have successfully managed busy full-service restaurant operations and know how to lead under pressure.
You are passionate about hospitality and understand that guest experience and operational excellence go hand in hand.
You hold people accountable while earning their respect.
You are highly organized, detail-oriented, and dependable.
You bring solutions, not excuses.
You thrive in fast-paced environments and maintain a calm, positive presence.
You take pride in mentoring others and building strong teams.
You are excited to contribute ideas while executing consistently.

Experience & Qualifications

Minimum of 3 years of restaurant management experience in a full-service restaurant environment.
Demonstrated success leading high-volume dinner service.
Proven experience recruiting, training, coaching, and retaining team members.
Experience managing labor, scheduling, and service standards.
Strong organizational and communication skills.
Proficiency with restaurant technology, including POS systems and reservation platforms.
Experience with Toast, OpenTable, Excel, Google Workspace, and Canva is preferred.
Social media, marketing, or event experience is a plus, but not required.

What We Mean by \"Proven Track Record\"

We're interested in leaders who can demonstrate measurable results from previous roles. Please be prepared to share examples of:

Improvements in guest satisfaction or online reviews.
Sales growth or increased profitability.
Team development and employee retention.
Successful hiring and training initiatives.
Operational improvements that enhanced efficiency or service quality.
Special events, marketing initiatives, or creative ideas that positively impacted the business.

Perks & Compensation

Competitive salary of $71,000–$90,000, depending on experience and demonstrated results.
Quarterly performance bonus opportunities.
Dining discounts and restaurant perks.
Collaboration with an engaged, hands-on ownership team.
Opportunities for expanded leadership responsibilities based on performance.
The chance to make a meaningful impact on one of San Diego's most unique independent restaurant concepts.

Why This Role Matters

This is more than a management position. It's an opportunity to shape the future of One Door North.

We're looking for someone who takes pride in leading from the floor, inspiring their team, and creating experiences guests talk about long after they leave.

If you're an experienced hospitality professional with a proven history of elevating restaurants, building teams, and delivering exceptional service, we'd love to meet you.

Apply today and tell us not only where you've worked, but how you made those places better.
