Are you a natural leader who loves people, delivers exceptional customer service, and knows how to turn first-time visitors into loyal, returning customers? We want to meet you!

Sourdough & Co. is one of the fastest-growing sandwich franchise brands in the United States, serving delicious sandwiches, soups, salads, and flatbreads made even better with our famous freshly baked sourdough bread. Our philosophy is simple: "It’s Naturally Better!"

We are preparing to introduce Sourdough & Co. to Florida, and we are looking for an enthusiastic, experienced Restaurant General Manager to lead our first Florida location in Panama City Beach.

This is more than a management position. It is an opportunity to help establish a growing brand in a new market, build a fantastic team, create a welcoming restaurant atmosphere, and develop the loyal customer following that drives long-term success.

We are looking for a leader who understands that great food brings customers through the door. Offers outstanding hospitality giving them a reason to return again and again.

THE OPPORTUNITY

As our Restaurant General Manager, you will take ownership of the restaurant’s daily operations, team performance, customer experience, and financial results.

You will help build a positive, energetic workplace where employees take pride in their work and customers feel welcomed, appreciated, and excited to return. BUILD A FRIENDLY TEAM ORIENTATED ENVIRONMENT STRUCTURED ON HELPING SUPPORT EACH OTHER!

• Build repeat business. Give customers a reason to choose Sourdough & Co. several times a week by delivering consistently great food, friendly service, and a welcoming experience.
• Drive traffic and sales. Take the initiative to attract new customers, encourage repeat visits, build relationships within the local community, and identify opportunities to increase restaurant sales.
• Set the hospitality standard. Ensure every customer interaction reflects our commitment to quality, friendliness, cleanliness, and service.
• Lead with a positive attitude. Inspire your team to care about the customer experience as much as you do.

• We want someone who turns a disappointing experience into a loyal customer and a satisfied customer into a regular weekly patron.

• Have a passion for food, service, fun and people
