If you’re a natural leader with a passion for hospitality and team development — and you’re ready to bring the energy every day — this is your shot.

We’re not your typical bar and grill. We’re where the big game is always on, the food is always hot, and the service is always personal. This is your opportunity to lead the floor, inspire a crew, and grow a real career with a company that promotes from within.

• Be a visible leader on the floor — welcoming guests, handling issues, and creating a positive vibe
• Hire, train, and mentor a team of high-performing hospitality staff
• Collaborate with upper management on business planning, promotions, and performance goals
• Maintain quality standards across service, cleanliness, and safety
• Handle guest concerns and resolve conflicts quickly and professionally
• Uphold the Hotshots message: “We are truly glad you are here and will do everything we can to make you want to come back.”

What You Bring:

• 3+ years of restaurant/bar management experience (sports bar, casual dining, or fast-paced concepts preferred)
• Leadership skills with the ability to motivate, manage, and hold a team accountable
• Strong communication, problem-solving, and organizational abilities
• A hands-on approach and willingness to lead by example
• Enthusiasm for sports, food, fun, and fast-paced service
• Availability to work 40–50 hours per week, including nights and weekends

Why You’ll Love It Here:

• Competitive salary + monthly bonus opportunities
• Career advancement — all upper management is promoted from within
• Fun, fast-paced atmosphere that values personality and initiative
• Employee food and drink discounts
• Flexible scheduling
• A supportive team and company that has your back
