A rapidly growing Fast Casual restaurant group based on the north side of Chicago is seeking a Chief Operating Officer / Managing Director to help lead and scale an emerging multi-unit concept with expansion plans already underway.

This is a unique opportunity for an experienced operator to step into a highly visible leadership role where you will directly influence operations, culture, systems, profitability, and future growth.

Ideal Background

  • Fast Casual restaurant operations experience required
  • Multi-unit leadership experience
  • Experience scaling growing restaurant concepts
  • Strong P&L and financial management skills
  • Proven ability to develop leaders and strong teams
  • Experience implementing systems, processes, and operational structure
  • New store opening experience strongly preferred

What We Offer

  • Profit-sharing potential
  • Full benefits package
  • Significant growth opportunity with an expanding restaurant group
