Job summary

Ayvaz Pizza LLC is hiring a Restaurant General Manager who leads from the floor, not from a desk. The role demands hands-on leadership during every rush, on line, on register, and on the floor as a true player-coach in a fast-paced setting.

You will drive operations, quality, guest satisfaction, and financial metrics while developing a high-performing team in a dynamic environment. This role emphasizes floor presence and speed over paperwork.

Qualifications

• High School Diploma or GED required; college degree preferred but not required for the right operator.
• Proven hands-on restaurant management experience required — high-volume, fast-paced concepts strongly preferred (QSR, diner-style, breakfast/all-day-service, or comparable).
• Demonstrated track record of personally running shifts and working stations, not solely supervising from the office.
• Experience managing labor, food cost, inventory, and operational metrics.

Responsibilities

• Personally work shifts alongside the team, including make line, register, and drive-thru during rushes — this is a daily expectation, not an exception.
• Lead all aspects of restaurant operations, ensuring excellence in food quality, customer service, cleanliness, and brand standards.
• Execute all company policies, procedures, systems, and operational initiatives.
• Maintain food safety and sanitation standards with zero compromises.
• Monitor and personally drive speed-of-service and customer satisfaction in real time, on the floor, shift by shift.
• Manage inventory, ordering, cash handling, and restaurant security procedures.
• Recruit, hire, train, coach, and develop restaurant team members and shift leaders — primarily through hands-on, side-by-side coaching during live shifts.
• Build schedules that balance guest demand with labor goals.
• Conduct performance evaluations, coaching sessions, and corrective actions.
• Develop future leaders through mentoring, modeling behavior on the floor, and succession planning.
• Review and analyze Profit & Loss statements; manage labor costs, food costs, and controllable expenses.
• Drive sales growth through operational excellence, speed, and guest satisfaction earned shift by shift.
