This is a great opportunity to join a growing hospitality group with a mix of casual and elevated casual concepts. With ~7 units and expansion on the horizon, they’re looking for a hands-on Director of Operations to get into the venues, tighten operations, and help elevate performance across the board.
This is not a Monday–Friday, desk-based role - you’ll be in the restaurants, working side-by-side with teams, identifying gaps, and driving real change.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Being on-site regularly, coaching teams and improving execution in real time
- Strengthening SOPs, systems, and operational consistency
- Leading and developing General Managers and leadership teams
- Driving P&L performance, labor control, and cost efficiencies
- Identifying gaps and implementing practical, on-the-ground solutions
- Supporting new openings and growth initiatives
- Partnering with ownership on vision, strategy, and scaling the business
What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience in a multi-unit leadership role (Director, Area Manager, or strong multi-unit GM)
- Background in full-service casual restaurants
- Very hands-on operator - comfortable being in venues, not behind a desk
- Strong track record of improving operations and building systems
- Experience with growth environments
- Solid financial acumen across P&L, labor, and cost control
- Strong people leader who can coach, develop, and hold teams accountable
