About the Opportunity

This is a full-scope restaurant leadership role where you are responsible for delivering an exceptional guest experience while leading all aspects of the operation during your shift — front of house, back of house, team performance, and execution.

If you are a hands‑on hospitality leader who thrives in a fast‑paced environment, takes pride in caring for both guests and team members, and enjoys running a highly organized, high‑performing shift — we would love to meet you.

We are known for:

• Warm, welcoming hospitality
• Consistent, high-quality food
• A loyal, returning guest base
• Efficient, fast‑paced service (30‑minute experience)

Hospitality, strong standards, consistent execution, and genuine care for our guests and team

The Role: What You’ll Do

As a Restaurant Manager, you will play a key role in delivering the Nudy’s experience every day.

Lead the Restaurant Experience

• Be present in the dining room during peak hours
• Create a welcoming, engaging environment for every guest
• Ensure service is warm, attentive, and efficient

Oversee the Full Operation

• Guide both front-of-house and back-of-house teams
• Ensure smooth, coordinated execution from kitchen to dining room

Drive Service & Performance

• Maintain our 30‑minute guest experience standard
• Support strong pacing, communication, and teamwork
• Ensure food is prepared and delivered efficiently and accurately

Develop and Support Your Team

  • food safety and cleanliness standards

PREFERRED:

This Role May Not Be a Fit If You:

• Prefer a role focused only on customer service without operational ownership
• Have only worked in retail or café environments
• Are not comfortable leading both kitchen and service teams
