Job summary

Ayvaz Pizza LLC is seeking a Restaurant General Manager who leads from the floor, not from behind a desk.

This is not a back‑of‑house or paperwork‑first role — we need a player‑coach in the mold of the best high‑volume, fast‑casual GMs in the industry: someone who is physically present on the line, on register, and on the floor during every rush, setting the pace by working alongside the team rather than observing from the office.

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.
• 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 (P&L) statements regularly.
• Manage labor costs, food costs, and controllable expenses.
• Drive sales growth through operational excellence, speed, and guest satisfaction earned shift by shift.
