As a leader in the casual dining sector, the company blends culinary expertise with health-conscious values, creating not only remarkable dishes but also sustainable and enriching experiences for all who dine and work there. The available role is that of an experienced restaurant manager within the True Food Kitchen family. This is more than a simple management position; it is an opportunity to partner with front-of-house (FOH) and back-of-house (BOH) leadership to drive sales, maximize profitability, and maintain operational excellence across all aspects of restaurant service. The manager will be integral to handling financial oversight including profit and loss (P&L), inventory, and cash flow management, ensuring the restaurant consistently meets its business objectives. Key responsibilities involve leading high-volume service environments either from the floor or the expo, guaranteeing flawless food quality, presentation, and guest interaction. The manager will conduct frequent line checks and facility walkthroughs to uphold the highest level of operational readiness, including ensuring compliance with safety standards and health inspections such as EcoSure. This hands-on leadership position requires significant engagement within kitchen operations, fostering team development and consistency across all stations. The ideal candidate is a natural leader who is both self-motivated and empathetic, committed to mentoring and coaching both managers and key hourly team members to support their career growth. Candidates for this role should bring over five years of management experience in a high-volume full-service restaurant, equipped with strong financial acumen and a passion for hospitality.
