We offer this position a salary range of $65,000 - $85,000/year. This position also earns great perks like health insurance.

This is a full-time, field-based business role reporting directly to the Regional Director of Operations. You'll maintain a flexible but hands-on schedule with regular weekday and weekend site visits. You may work holidays as needed.


THE TYPE OF CANDIDATE WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • 7+ years of progressive multi-unit restaurant or retail leadership experience
  • Experience building, coaching, and inspiring high-performing teams
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to present and negotiate effectively
  • Proficiency in Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and other standard software
  • Willingness to travel frequently and maintain a consistent field presence
  • Dedication to operational excellence and team success

You'll be responsible for maintaining operational excellence, conducting visits at least twice per period, and supporting the development of your team through bi-monthly GM meetings. Onboarding new leaders will be part of your mission, including weekly check-ins and personal support during their first day. You'll lead with visibility, showing up on weekends, providing in-person guidance, and managing both employee and guest concerns with professionalism. You'll also play a central role in analyzing P&Ls, identifying performance gaps, and implementing action plans.
