As General Manager, you'll own the full performance of your account: hitting budget targets, exceeding client expectations, and building a culture where your team, your guests, and your client all feel the difference of great leadership.

Manage purchasing, inventory controls, and food cost while never letting quality standards slip.
Lead the People - Participate in employee meetings, reviews, and training programs, and champion the professional growth and development of your entire team. You'll build genuine rapport with staff, guests, clients, and other departments - the kind of relationships that make people want to show up and do their best work.
Lead the Operation - Partner with chefs on menu planning, ensure HACCP controls and proper food storage practices are second nature across your team, and manage in full compliance with company policy and local, state, and federal regulations. You'll integrate dining services seamlessly into the broader facility plan of operations, fostering strong interdepartmental relationships along the way.
What You Bring8-10 years of upscale food service experience, including 6+ years at the management level
Proven personnel management experience - hiring, supervision, evaluation, and succession planning
A track record of hitting company and client goals while staying true to policy and procedure
Strong leadership, organizational skills, and sharp attention to detail

Exceptional business etiquette and client relations instincts
Strong catering experience
The highest standards of personal integrity and ethical behavior
