We're not just hiring a General Manager — we're inviting a new Heartbeat into our HomeGrown family.

At Thrive Restaurant Group, we’ve been growing goodness for over 50 years. We’re family-owned, people-centered, and purpose-driven. We believe in building places where people can thrive — and HomeGrown is one of the best examples of that vision in action.

Born in Wichita in 2017, HomeGrown exists to start people’s days with kindness. We serve scratch-made breakfast and lunch in spaces designed to feel like a warm hug. We build community with every pancake flipped, every latte poured, and every connection made. And we’re looking for a General Manager to lead our Downtown Wichita location — someone who feels called to lead with heart, build up others, and help make mornings brighter.

Your Invitation:

To love and lead people by creating a workplace where everyone can become their natural best selves.

As the General Manager, you are the culture-setter, coach, and chief cheerleader. You’re responsible for nurturing a team that takes care of each other and creates memorable guest experiences. It’s about building a thriving business — one rooted in people, purpose, and pancakes.

What You'll Do:

• Lead with Heart: Model and multiply a culture of kindness, curiosity, and excellence.
• Build Great Teams: Hire, coach, and develop leaders who do the same for their teams.
• Inspire Hospitality: Make sure every guest leaves feeling better than when they arrived.
• Drive Operational Health: Oversee daily operations to ensure efficiency, safety, and top-notch food quality.
• Own the Numbers: Be responsible for the P&L, labor, COGS, and all the pieces that make the restaurant financially strong.
• Keep It Clean & Compliant: Ensure safety, sanitation, and regulatory standards are always met.
• Lead the Vibe: Be present, proactive, and full of the kind of energy that sets the tone for the whole team.
  
  

Who You Are:

• A people-first leader who believes relationships matter most.
• A hospitality pro who lights up when you serve others.
• A developer of leaders who loves mentoring and seeing others grow.
• A decision-maker with sound judgment and strong operational awareness.
• A problem-solver who’s not afraid to get in the mix and figure things out.
• A culture-carrier who helps create a workplace that’s joyful, supportive, and productive.
  
  

What You Bring:

• Previous General Manager experience in a full-service or fast-casual restaurant
• A strong head for numbers and operations (labor, scheduling, P&L, etc.)
• A passion for great food, meaningful work, and making a difference
• A knack for juggling competing priorities with calm and confidence
• The physical ability to be on your feet, stay active, and lift up to 50 lbs as needed
• Flexibility to work early hours, weekends, and holidays (we serve breakfast and lunch only!)
  
  

What Success Looks Like:

• A team that loves coming to work
• Guests who feel seen, known, and cared for
• A restaurant that runs smoothly, profitably, and with heart
• A culture where people feel proud to be a part of something meaningful
