Job description

M.L.Rose is proud to be a locally owned Nashville restaurant group. We make real food from scratch, alongside the best in the business in busy & fun neighborhood restaurants.

We're looking for talented and dedicated managers who want to work with other top-performers and join us in our mission to be the heartbeat of our neighborhoods.

Every manager here is developed to be capable of successfully running the whole restaurant on a shift. Your department is where you go deep, become an expert, and develop your team.

What you'll own

• Running shifts start to finish, for your department and the whole building
• Sales and profitability for your department, with real numbers: budgets, forecasts, and the P&L
• Schedules and labor
• Inventory and ordering
• Hiring, coaching, and developing your team

What great looks like here

We run on 4 values. Here’s what they look like from a manager:

• Every Guest Is a Regular. You're in all parts of the building during the rush, touching tables, ensuring quality, and you know your regulars by name.
• Clear Is Kind. You give direct feedback in the moment, and you ask for it back. Your team always knows where they stand.
• Play To Win. You run our systems every shift; you know your numbers before your GM asks, and when something breaks, you own it and fix it fast.
• Let's GO!!! You celebrate wins out loud, and your team wants to work your shifts.

What you bring

• Experience managing in a high-volume, full-service restaurant or bar
• A track record you can talk about in numbers: developing and coaching a team, food or liquor cost, labor, driving sales
• Experience hiring and building a team, beyond just running one
• ServSafe Manager certification, or you'll get it in your first [30] days

How we hire

We're selective, and we're upfront about the process. We will get back to you fast and shoot you straight. Expect a short video call, an in-depth interview where we walk through your last few jobs, a conversation with our Director of Operations, and a shift with the team before any offer.

If you've hit your numbers and built strong teams, you'll enjoy the pride of making daily progress and personal development in both yourself and your team.

Pay and benefits

• $62,000 to $72,000 salary, based on experience
• Quarterly bonus potential
• Earning into additional vacation weeks and even sabbatical time with tenure
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Paid time off
• Monthly dining allowance at any A.Ray Hospitality restaurant
• Free shift meals and an employee discount
• Paid training

Full-time, in person. M.L.Rose is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
