Job description

Restaurant General Manager – Somerset, KY

Build Something Worth Leading
We're partnering with an independent, growth-oriented restaurant ownership group seeking a General Manager who wants more than another management job. This is an opportunity to help shape the future of a successful restaurant, work directly with ownership, and build a high-performing team while sharing in the success.

Location

Somerset, Kentucky (On-site)

Compensation

• Base salary starting around $95,000 (DOE)
• Generous profit-sharing program with significant earning potential
• Direct access to ownership and decision-makers
• Clear career growth as the company expands

What You’ll Do

• Lead daily operations and create an exceptional guest experience.
• Hire, coach, and develop a high-performing management and hourly team.
• Build a culture of accountability, teamwork, and hospitality.
• Drive financial performance through labor, food cost, and operational excellence.
• Partner with ownership to improve systems, grow the business, and execute new ideas.
• Develop future leaders and create a workplace where great people want to stay.

We're Looking For

• An experienced Restaurant General Manager, or
• A high-performing Assistant General Manager ready for their first GM opportunity.
• Hands‑on leadership style with a passion for developing people.
• Strong business acumen and the ability to drive sales and profitability.
• A leader who thinks like an owner and wants to make a lasting impact.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Most restaurant management jobs ask you to maintain the status quo. This opportunity is different. You'll have a voice, influence, and the chance to help build a growing organization alongside ownership. If you're looking for a place where your ideas matter and your success is rewarded, we'd love to talk.
