About Cart-Driver

Cart-Driver has been part of Denver's food community for over 12 years. We make Neapolitan sourdough pizza, handmade pasta, and fresh oysters, and we back it all up with a bar program we're genuinely proud of. We work closely with local farmers and purveyors because we care about where our food comes from and who grows it.

We also care deeply about the people who work here. We believe in equity and shared success, and we mean it in practice, not just on paper. We want Cart-Driver to be a place where people can build real careers and feel good about where they spend their time.

At the end of the day, we're in the business of making people's lives better. That means our guests, our neighbors, and every person on our team. If that sounds like the kind of place you want to work, we'd love to hear from you.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a proven restaurant leader to join us as Assistant General Manager at our LoHi location, as we expand both our hours and our company. This is not a placeholder role. It is a clear pathway to a General Manager position as we expand along the Front Range. We are looking for someone who hospitality comes naturally to; who understands guest service and how to teach it; who can motivate and inspire a team while setting clear expectations and holding them accountable to them.

What You Will Do

• Lead and inspire the floor team during service, setting the tone for warm, attentive, high-caliber hospitality every shift
• Hold the team to clear expectations and high standards, coaching in the moment and celebrating wins consistently
• Partner with the GM on scheduling, inventory, training, ordering, and operational systems
• Drive our bar program, innovating through recipe development and systems creation

What We Are Looking For

• 3 years of restaurant management experience in a full-service, upscale, or fine-casual environment
• Proven ability to build and lead high-performing teams through accountability, coaching, and genuine care
• A hospitality-first mindset. You genuinely love making people feel welcome and you notice the details that matter
• Strong communication skills and the confidence to set and hold standards with kindness and clarity
• Ambition and readiness to grow. You are excited by the idea of running your own restaurant
• Familiarity with wine, oysters, and Italian cuisine is a plus. Passion to learn is a must

Benefits & Perks

• 100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 3 weeks paid time off
• Work-life balance at 40 to 45 hours per week
• Performance bonus program & profit sharing
• Clear path to General Manager as we expand
• People-first culture and values

Better food, better hospitality, better lives — for everyone at the table

Every decision—whether it’s about food, service, music, design, or systems—should begin with the guest experience.

We refuse to compromise on quality, and it’s always our goal to make sure everything we serve is as delicious at it possibly can be

We aspire to reimagine what a restaurant company can achieve. We are not limited by the status quo, and challenge ourselves to find better ways of doing things. 

We are committed to fairness, equity, and creating opportunities for everyone to succeed and share in that success.
