&Pasta is a growing restaurant brand with two locations today and plans to expand nationally across the U.S. We're looking for a driven, hands-on General Manager to lead our Livermore location and help us build the operational foundation for future growth. This isn't simply a position where you inherit an established playbook and maintain the status quo. We want someone who wants to help build the playbook. You'll work directly with the Director of Operations and ownership team to strengthen the restaurant, establish consistent standards, develop SOPs, build accountability systems, and create an operation that can eventually be replicated across future locations.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Lead daily FOH and BOH restaurant operations. Maintain exceptional standards for food quality, consistency, cleanliness, service, and hospitality. Develop, implement, train, and maintain SOPs, checklists, and operational systems . Establish strong opening, closing, prep, production, cleaning, and shift-management procedures. Build a culture of accountability where standards are consistently followed. Recruit, train, coach, and develop employees and managers. Develop future leaders and build a strong team. Manage labor, food cost, inventory, waste, cash controls, and overall restaurant performance. Use Toast/POS and operational data to identify problems and opportunities. Continuously improve processes rather than simply putting out daily fires. Work closely with the Director of Operations to implement and improve company-wide systems.
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
We're looking for an experienced restaurant leader who is hungry to grow . You don't necessarily need 15 years of management experience or a long list of corporate titles. We care more about what you've actually accomplished.
The ideal candidate:
Has restaurant management and leadership experience. Is ready to take the next step in their career. Takes ownership and doesn't wait to be told what to do. Has high standards for food, service, cleanliness, and hospitality. Understands food cost, labor, inventory, waste, and restaurant operations. Has experience creating or implementing SOPs, checklists, or training systems . Knows how to coach people and hold them accountable. Is organized, analytical, and comfortable using operational data. Is hands-on and leads by example. Enjoys solving problems and creating structure. Wants to grow with a company rather than simply manage another restaurant. Experience with Toast, restaurant openings, turnarounds, high-volume operations, or developing management teams is a strong plus.
WHY JOIN US?
&Pasta is still young. With only two locations, you'll have an opportunity to make an impact that simply isn't possible in a mature restaurant chain. You won't just be following someone else's system. You'll help build it. The SOPs, training systems, standards, and accountability processes you help develop can become the foundation for future &Pasta locations. You'll work directly with the Director of Operations and ownership , with the support and resources to implement your ideas and improve the business. For the right person, this can grow into much more than a GM position as the company expands. We're looking for someone who wants to look back a few years from now and say: "I was there when we built this."
COMPENSATION
$70,304-$72,000 base salary, depending on experience + performance bonus We are a young company, so our current compensation reflects where we are today. Our goal is to grow our people as we grow the brand , with increased responsibility and opportunity as additional locations are developed.
