Noble Food & Pursuits is a chef driven hospitality group based in Charlotte, North Carolina. Our restaurants range from neighborhood favorites to destination dining, with each concept rooted in craftsmanship, genuine hospitality, and a commitment to quality. As we continue to grow, we remain focused on building strong teams, developing great leaders, and creating restaurants where both our guests and our people want to be. That growth continues this December with the opening of a new Rooster's Wood Fired Kitchen in Davidson, North Carolina. Noble Food & Pursuits will also be opening Brasserie Copain next door, expanding our presence in Davidson and building a new leadership team within the market. We are hiring now for the General Manager of Rooster's Davidson . The selected leader will begin training within our existing Charlotte market restaurants ahead of opening, providing time to learn our company, systems, standards, culture, and the Rooster's operation before taking ownership of the new restaurant. Rooster's Wood Fired Kitchen is centered around wood fired cooking, scratch preparation, quality ingredients, genuine hospitality, and the energy of a great neighborhood restaurant. The General Manager will partner closely with the Executive Chef to build the team, establish the culture, and lead the restaurant from opening forward.
