This isn't your average desk job — you'll be on the floor, leading the charge during game days, happy hours, and everything in between. As GM, you'll own the full operation: from building a killer team and keeping the bar stocked, to making sure every guest walks out happy and ready to come back. If you thrive in a fast-moving, fun environment and know how to balance hustle with hospitality, we want to talk. Duties Lead day-to-day bar and restaurant operations, keeping service fast, staff motivated, and the atmosphere exactly what guests come here for. Oversee front and back of house activity, ensuring food quality, drink consistency, and a seamless guest experience from open to close. Manage inventory for both the kitchen and bar — ordering, tracking stock, reducing waste, and keeping pour costs and food costs in check. Utilize POS systems (Aloha, Micros, or similar) for order accuracy, cash handling, and end-of-day sales reconciliation. Hire, train, and develop a strong team that knows how to deliver great service even on the busiest game nights. Build and manage shift schedules that keep staffing sharp during peak hours — weekends, holidays, and major sporting events included. Enforce all health, safety, and alcohol service compliance standards, including responsible beverage service (TABC/local certification a plus). Stay plugged into guest feedback — handle concerns on the spot and create a culture where regulars feel at home. Partner with ownership on budgeting, cost controls, promotions, and strategies to grow revenue and build the brand. Drive the energy of the room — you set the tone for the staff and the guests every single shift. Skills Proven restaurant or bar management experience, ideally in a high-volume casual dining or sports bar setting. Strong leadership presence with the ability to motivate a diverse team in a fast-paced, personality-driven environment. Solid knowledge of bar operations, including draft systems, cocktail programs, and responsible alcohol service. Hands-on experience with inventory management, food and beverage cost control, and vendor relationships. Proficiency with POS systems and basic financial reporting; comfort with daily cash handling and sales reconciliation. Deep understanding of food safety standards, kitchen operations, and health code compliance. Excellent scheduling and shift management skills, especially around high-traffic events and weekends. Strong communicator — whether you're coaching a new server, resolving a guest issue, or interviewing your next great hire. Experience with promotions, events, or sports programming is a major plus. A genuine passion for hospitality, cold beer, and making people feel welcome.
