Winston Hospitality is seeking an accomplished, energetic, and hospitality-driven Restaurant General Manager to lead the opening and ongoing operation of FYR Prime, a brand-new fine dining steakhouse located within Ho-Chunk Gaming Beloit, a major new casino and hotel destination in Beloit, Wisconsin. This is an exceptional opportunity for an experienced fine dining leader who wants to build something from the ground up. As the opening General Manager, you will play a critical role in establishing FYR Prime's culture, service standards, operating systems, team, and reputation, both within the Beloit community and among Ho-Chunk Gaming Beloit's guest base. FYR Prime is a fine dining, high-check-average steakhouse concept built around a serious wine and beverage program and a refined, attentive service standard. We are looking for a leader with real fine dining experience, not general restaurant management experience alone, who understands what it takes to deliver that level of hospitality consistently, night after night. Because FYR Prime operates within Ho-Chunk Gaming Beloit, the ideal candidate will also be comfortable navigating VIP guest handling, players club and comp structures, and coordination with casino marketing and operations. Prior experience in a casino or gaming-adjacent hospitality environment is a strong plus. Key Responsibilities

• Partner closely with the Executive Chef to maintain consistency, quality, efficiency, and teamwork.

• Develop and execute strategies to increase sales and profitability.
• Maintain appropriate inventory controls and minimize waste.
• Ensure proper cash-handling and financial-control procedures.
• Partner with Winston Hospitality leadership on budgets, forecasts, business plans, and performance goals.
• Navigate casino-specific guest service protocols, including VIP handling and comp procedures, in coordination with casino operations and marketing. What We're Looking For
