Serving as the essential operational connection between executive leadership and restaurant-level management, the Regional Manager will directly oversee 4 to 5 multi-unit locations. This individual will thrive in a high-energy, fast-paced environment where they alternate between strategic corporate oversight and hands‑on field leadership. If you are an articulate, confident communicator with a passion for cultivating top-tier talent, maintaining impeccable service standards, and driving significant revenue, this role offers an exceptional trajectory for professional advancement alongside a rapidly scaling brand.

Position Responsibilities

• Multi‑Unit Leadership & Development: Coach, mentor, and build bench strength among General Managers and location teams; institute a culture of high accountability, continuous training, and reduced turnover.

• Financial Oversight: Manage a portfolio generating $40M–$50M in annual revenue; analyze P&L statements, manage labor and food costs, maximize operating profit, and empower General Managers to meet strict budgetary targets.
• Strategic Execution: Translate senior leadership goals into daily operational excellence, resolve highly complex restaurant‑level challenges, and help scale operational policies across corporate and upcoming franchise locations.
• Compliance & Community Relations: Ensure absolute alignment with federal, state, and local regulations while representing the brand professionally with guests, regulatory bodies, and vendor partners.

Position Requirements

• Extensive Leadership Experience: 10–15 years of progressive full‑service restaurant operations experience, including 5–10 years of dedicated multi‑unit/regional management oversight.
• Proven Scope of Management: Minimum experience managing 3+ full‑service, a la carte dining concepts with a track record of overseeing portfolios generating $20M+ in revenue (high‑volume, upscale, or experiential a la carte dining experience preferred).
• Technical & Financial Acumen: Strong proficiency in P&L forecasting, budgetary planning, and restaurant management technology; advanced skills in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) and openness to leveraging AI workflows.
• Exceptional Communication Skills: Highly articulate, confident presenter capable of commanding group settings, management meetings, town halls, and high‑level third‑party business discussions.
• Operational Flexibility: Ability to work a flexible schedule including nights, weekends, and holidays, spending approximately 4 days a week traveling in the field across Southern California locations and 1 day in the Torrance office.
• Cultural Sensitivity: An open, inclusive leadership style.

Compensation: $110,000 - $120,000 base (commensurate with experience), 10% bonus program, comprehensive health, dental, vision, 401k, PTO, and much more!
