Gsr Security Jobs in Reno, NV (NOW HIRING)

Charlie Palmer Steak — Grand Sierra Resort, Reno, NV

Lead the team behind iconic celebrity Chef Charlie Palmer at Charlie Palmer Steak, our destination restaurant and bar inside the Grand Sierra Resort (GSR).

We're in search of a dynamic, hospitality-driven leader with a passion for exceptional wine and cuisine, a deep appreciation for luxury service standards, and the leadership skills to run one of the most celebrated dining rooms in Reno.

We offer a highly competitive compensation package and the rare opportunity to lead alongside Chef Charlie Palmer and GSR's seasoned Food & Beverage team. As General Manager, you own the full guest experience, financial performance, and team leadership for the restaurant, bar, and lounge — including the wine and beverage program. You will directly lead the Dining Room Manager, partner closely with the Executive Chef on culinary execution, and represent the outlet within GSR's broader Food & Beverage organization, ensuring the restaurant consistently meets property standards, KPIs, and schedules across all GSR systems.

The ideal candidate has luxury food & beverage leadership experience, strong financial acumen, a track record of developing management teams, and a desire to build a best-in-class dining destination under one of the most renowned chefs and culinary brands in the country.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own the day-to-day operation and financial performance (P&L) of the restaurant, bar, and lounge, in accordance with Charlie Palmer brand standards and established GSR property policies and procedures.
• Directly supervise, coach, and develop the Dining Room Manager; set clear performance goals, hold regular one-on-ones, and ensure consistent management coverage across all shifts.
• Partner closely with the Executive Chef on menu development, food cost management, kitchen-to-front-of-house coordination, and overall culinary execution to deliver a seamless guest experience.
• Serve as the outlet's primary liaison to the GSR Food & Beverage management team and broader property leadership, ensuring alignment on initiatives, promotions, staffing, and cross-outlet coordination.
• Ensure the restaurant consistently meets all GSR property standards, KPIs, and schedules, and maintains accurate, current records within all required property systems (POS, scheduling/labor management, comp tracking, inventory, and related platforms).
• Own the wine and beverage program — list development, vendor relationships, staff training, and cost/margin management — in coordination with GSR's beverage and purchasing teams.
• Establish and approve training programs for all restaurant team members, including new-hire orientation and ongoing service-standard development, delegating day-to-day administration to the DRM.
• Direct the development and enforcement of operational controls across all phases of the restaurant to ensure profitable, economical operation while upholding brand and quality standards.
• Own the annual budget process, forecasting, and financial reporting, including variance reports, weekly management reports, comp reports, and inventory reporting (linen/glass/silver/menu), presenting results to the Director of Food & Beverage and GSR leadership as required.
• Monitor labor cost, scheduling efficiency, and productivity across the restaurant, maintaining appropriate staffing levels while managing to budgeted man-hour targets.
• Ensure full compliance with health, safety, and Nevada Gaming Control Board regulations; serve as the outlet's primary point of contact for Internal Audit and property compliance reviews.
• Own guest satisfaction outcomes — personally resolve escalated guest complaints, review guest feedback (comment cards, OpenTable, Yelp/TripAdvisor, GSR guest surveys), and drive continuous service improvement.
• Make final hiring, promotion, discipline, and termination decisions for restaurant team members and management, in partnership with GSR Human Resources; approve wage and salary recommendations from the AGM/DRM within established guidelines.
• Conduct and oversee performance reviews for all direct reports (AGM, DRM) and ensure timely completion of reviews for all restaurant team members.
• Serve as the outlet's key holder and final point of accountability for cash handling, drops, and security procedures.
