A Restaurant Leadership Role With a Schedule You Can Actually Live With

We are partnering with a well-established, high-volume restaurant group in Cambridge to hire an experienced General Manager to lead a unique all-day concept combining a bustling café with a full-service lunch and dinner restaurant. And unlike many GM opportunities in hospitality, this role offers a schedule designed to provide some consistency:

• Sundays & Mondays off
• Primarily 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM shifts
• Only one closing shift per week, approximately 3:00 PM – 11:00 PM
• Major holidays are protected
• Flexible PTO

This is an opportunity for a proven restaurant leader who enjoys being on the floor, building strong teams, creating a great guest experience, and managing the details behind a successful operation.

The environment is fast-paced but highly stable, with a long-tenured management team and a strong emphasis on hospitality, quality, consistency, and culture.

Previous General Manager experience is required. We are looking for someone who has already successfully led a full-service restaurant and wants to find a long-term home where they can make an impact.

• Oversee scheduling, payroll, hiring, onboarding, training, and ongoing development
• Maintain high standards for hospitality, service, cleanliness, and overall guest experience
• Manage high-volume shifts while remaining calm, organized, and visible on the floor
• Oversee ordering and support inventory and operational controls
• Manage reservations, private events, and third-party takeout/delivery operations
• Monitor staffing levels and adjust operations based on daily and seasonal volume
• Partner with ownership and operations leadership on sales goals and business performance
• Create accountability while maintaining a positive, welcoming, team-oriented culture
• Identify opportunities to improve processes, service, and restaurant operations
• Develop future leaders within the organization

What We’re Looking For

The ideal candidate will bring:

• 2+ years of General Manager experience within a full-service restaurant

• No traditional PTO blackout periods
• Sundays and Mondays off
• Predominantly daytime schedule, with most shifts running 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
• Only one closing shift per week, approximately 3:00 PM – 11:00 PM
