Assistant General Manager The Overpass Merchant is a neighborhood gastropub in Baton Rouge where regulars know our team by name, friends meet for drinks on the patio, and great food and genuine hospitality come together in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. We take what we do seriously without taking ourselves too seriously—and we believe the people behind the experience matter just as much as what's on the plate or in the glass. The Overpass Merchant is part of Hufft Marchand Hospitality (HMH), a locally owned restaurant group built on creating places we'd want to eat, drink, and spend time ourselves. From neighborhood restaurants to pizza shops, bars, ice cream, and everything in between, we're constantly growing, evolving, and looking for people who want to grow with us. We're searching for an Assistant General Manager who leads from the floor—not the office. Someone who can coach a team, anticipate problems before guests ever notice them, jump behind the bar when needed, run food during a rush, celebrate wins, own mistakes, and make every shift better than the one before it.

The right person will:

Lead by example and earn respect through action. Create memorable guest experiences every single day. Build, coach, and develop a strong Front of House team. Keep service standards high without losing the personality and fun that make The Overpass Merchant what it is. Be comfortable leading a busy floor and making decisions in the moment. Understand the business side of restaurants—including labor, sales, inventory, cost control, and profitability. Communicate clearly and work closely with both Front and Back of House leadership. Stay calm under pressure and look for solutions instead of excuses. Hold themselves and their team accountable while treating people with respect. Believe no job is beneath them. What You'll Get Competitive salary: $47 - $55k Paid time off. Health benefits. Dining discounts throughout HMH restaurants. Hands-on development and support from an experienced leadership team. Real opportunities for advancement as HMH continues to grow. If you love hospitality, thrive in a fast-paced restaurant, believe in taking care of both guests and your team, and want an opportunity to grow within a locally owned restaurant group, we'd love to meet you.
