Hourly Restaurant Manager information

What does an hourly restaurant manager do?

An Hourly Restaurant Manager oversees the daily operations of a restaurant during their shift. Their responsibilities typically include supervising staff, ensuring high standards of food quality and customer service, handling customer complaints, and maintaining a clean and safe environment. They may also help with scheduling, inventory management, and opening or closing the restaurant. Unlike salaried managers, they are usually paid by the hour and may work flexible shifts. Their main goal is to ensure smooth restaurant operations and a positive dining experience for guests.

What skills and qualifications are needed to thrive as an hourly restaurant manager?

To thrive as an Hourly Restaurant Manager, you need experience in food service operations, staff supervision, and basic financial management, often supported by a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with point-of-sale (POS) systems, scheduling software, and food safety certifications like ServSafe are typically required. Strong leadership, problem-solving abilities, and excellent customer service skills help you stand out in this position. These skills and qualities are crucial for ensuring smooth restaurant operations, maintaining food safety standards, and delivering a positive guest experience.

How does an hourly restaurant manager balance front-of-house responsibilities with back-of-house operational needs?

An Hourly Restaurant Manager often serves as a bridge between the front-of-house team (servers, hosts, bartenders) and back-of-house staff (kitchen, dishwashers), ensuring smooth communication and workflow. On a daily basis, you might oversee guest service, address customer issues, manage staff schedules, and monitor food quality and safety standards. Balancing these tasks requires strong multitasking skills and the ability to prioritize urgent needs, such as resolving a guest complaint while coordinating with the kitchen on timely food delivery. Most managers work closely with both teams to maintain a positive work environment and meet business goals.

Job description

Join the leadership team at a Restaurant at the Forefront of QSR Innovation
Compensation up to $21.50

At Steak 'n Shake, we’re blending our rich heritage with bold innovation to redefine what a quick-service experience can be with a relentless focus on hospitality, ensuring every guest feels welcome, valued, and cared for.  As a Restaurant Manager, you won’t just manage, you’ll lead from the front. This is a hands-on leadership role for those who take pride in operational excellence through doing the work, not just directing it.

Reporting directly to the General Manager/Franchise Partner you will ensure business and strategic goals are met through team leadership.


What You’ll Do

Restaurant Leadership & Operations

  • Lead by example—actively working the line, prepping food, maintaining cleanliness, and serving guests across all shifts: opening, mid-day, and closing.
  • Wear a professional uniform daily—shirt and tie or collared blouse—setting the tone for team presentation and upholding all brand standards, food safety practices, and service protocols.

Financial Performance

  • Own the P&L: manage food costs, control inventory, verify invoices, and eliminate waste while driving labor efficiency with smart scheduling, cross-training, and station versatility.

Inventory & Supply Chain Control

  • Oversee inventory from the back door to the front line.

Team Building & Development

  • Recruit, train, and retain top hourly talent through clear feedback and coaching.

Job Requirements

  • 1+ years of QSR or fast-casual restaurant management experience required.
  • Proven history of consistent work tenure and reliable leadership.
  • Deep understanding of food cost management, labor optimization, and operational KPIs.
  • Hands-on leadership—comfortable working the drive through or grill when needed.
  • Tech-savvy with POS systems, inventory platforms, and invoice tools.
  • Strong physical stamina: can lift 50 lbs., stay on your feet all day, and thrive in a fast-paced kitchen.
  • Professionalism that extends to your LinkedIn profile (if you have one) and resume—both should tell the same story.
  • Track record in driving hospitality excellence and navigating change in a team setting.
  • Minimum of 18 years of age.
