• Develop and support General Managers through clear expectations, ongoing coaching, and accountability—building leaders who understand their business, praise and coach team members, and drive positive sales growth while maintaining margin management.
• Build happy and engaged teams with strong retention and low turnover by identifying talent early, creating development plans, and preparing leaders for growth, ensuring multiple successors for each critical role.
• Partner with restaurant leaders to understand and manage business aspects such as labor, food costs, inventory, and forecasting, discussing process improvements and achieving sustainable long‑term success.
• Ensure food safety and quality standards are upheld through visible leadership, training, and follow‑through, empowering teams to take ownership of food safety and quality.
• Use data and insights to spot trends, solve root problems, and drive meaningful improvements across restaurants, connecting numbers to behaviors and performance.
• Create and execute district‑level sales and traffic‑driving strategies, scaling successful initiatives across all locations, piloting them, measuring results, and ensuring clear, actionable plans.
• Lead engaging district meetings that reinforce standards, share best practices, and address gaps with clarity and accountability.

What You Bring

• Proven experience leading a minimum of 5–8 restaurants in a fast‑paced, high‑volume environment.
• A passion for hospitality and a track record of building consistent, guest‑focused experiences.
• Experience building internal talent pipelines and developing GMs for long‑term success.
• Strong people‑leadership skills, including coaching, development, and holding leaders accountable with care and clarity.
• Strong business and financial acumen, with the ability to translate numbers into action at the restaurant level.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to prioritize, delegate, and lead through others.
• Unwavering commitment to using data to inform decision‑making day‑to‑day, hour to hour.
• Clear and confident communication skills with the ability to build trust at all levels.
