This opportunity sits within a recognized and expanding brand, offering the ability to step into a proven concept while having the autonomy to influence the business at a local level. The General Manager is responsible for the full operation of the business, including financial performance, team leadership, and execution of brand standards. This individual will be highly visible in the operation, leading from the floor and setting the tone for both the team and the guest experience.
