Kitchen/Restaurant Manager

Alright, let's talk about this manager spot in Austin, TX. It's with a restaurant group out of New York that takes its food and its people seriously. They need someone who gets that the front of house sets the tone for everything.

What You'd Be Doing

Your main job is to run the show and set the pace. That means building a team culture where people actually want to show up and do good work. You're the one making sure the place is ready to roll every day, not just for service but for any health inspector who walks in.

• You'll handle the daily grind of operations, keeping a close eye on the numbers to hit or beat financial goals.
• A big part of this is guest relations. It's about turning first timers into regulars and making sure everyone feels taken care of.
• Leading by example is non negotiable here. You're living their core values so your team knows what they are.

What You Need to Have

There are a few boxes you have to tick from day one. No way around them.

• A current Food Handler's Certification from the Department of Health is mandatory.
• You should know your way around a menu and a wine list; excellent food and beverage knowledge is key.
• Be comfortable with Microsoft Office, especially Excel.
• They use specific systems: OpenTable, Toast, Restaurant 365, and Dolce. You don't need to be an expert on day one, but you need to be technically savvy enough to learn them quickly and manage that side of things.
• The role demands strong organizational skills. You're planning ahead and prioritizing tasks all day long.

The Intangibles That Help

These aren't hard requirements, but they're what separates a good manager from a great one here.

• A good sense of humor goes a long way in a busy restaurant.
• They want someone motivated to bring real energy and positivity to their work.
• It helps if you understand how the decisions you make on the floor affect the bottom line. Seeing the financial side of operations matters.
