• Own the room: be the confident, capable face of the restaurant.
• Manage back-office operations with systems like Toast, OpenTable, MarginEdge, and Harri.
• Mentor, train, and build a team that thrives in high-energy service environments.
• Collaborate with ownership on budgets, forecasting, and strategic growth.
• Maintain a deep understanding of NYC's dining culture and align the restaurant with the neighborhood’s evolving identity.

What You'll Bring:

• 2+ years as a GM or Director of Operations in high-volume, high-profile restaurants.
• Experience leading large teams and elevating guest experiences.
• The personality to energize a room, connect with guests, and sell the brand.
• Knowledge of NYC dining culture and community engagement.
• Drive to help grow a legacy into the future.

Why Us:

You’ll have the rare chance to run a historic NYC restaurant while shaping its nightlife future, while growing with a group that’s rapidly expanding across New York.
