What are the responsibilities and job description for the General Manager - Restaurant position at Iverstine Farms Butcher?
General Manager — Iverstine Butcher
Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Full-Time | Salary Performance Bonus
Iverstine Butcher is looking for a General Manager to lead the day-to-day operation of our Baton Rouge butcher shop and restaurant.
We're a unique operation — part whole-animal butcher shop, part restaurant, part specialty food market — built around great food and genuine hospitality.
We're looking for an experienced restaurant or hospitality leader who wants to lead a great team without the traditional restaurant lifestyle.
We close at 6:00 PM. No late nights.
The Role
Our General Manager is the point person for the entire building and is responsible for making sure Iverstine delivers an exceptional experience every day.
This is first and foremost a people and hospitality position.
We're looking for someone who enjoys being on the floor, knows how to lead a team, notices the details, develops employees and genuinely enjoys taking care of customers.
You'll work alongside our butcher leadership and Director of Culinary Operations, allowing you to focus on the overall operation rather than trying to be the chef, butcher and GM at the same time.
Responsibilities
- Lead the day-to-day operation of Iverstine Butcher
- Create and maintain a culture of genuine hospitality
- Lead, coach and develop our team
- Oversee front-of-house scheduling and labor
- Maintain high standards for food quality and presentation
- Ensure the store is clean, organized and ready for customers
- Handle customer concerns and make things right
- Maintain strong opening, closing and operating procedures
- Work with culinary and butcher leadership to keep departments aligned
- Monitor sales, labor and key operating metrics
- Identify problems and take ownership of solving them
- Serve as the primary point person for the building
Who We're Looking For
You may be a restaurant GM, assistant GM, FOH manager, hospitality manager or experienced restaurant leader who's ready for the next step.
We're looking for someone who is:
- Naturally hospitable
- A strong team leader
- Organized and accountable
- Comfortable making decisions
- Detail-oriented without losing sight of the customer
- Able to hold people accountable while maintaining a positive culture
- Experienced in high-volume food service, hospitality or specialty retail
- Excited about food and the unique Iverstine concept
Most importantly, we want someone who takes ownership.
A Different Kind of Restaurant Management Job
Restaurant leadership doesn't have to mean getting home at midnight.
Iverstine Butcher is a daytime-focused operation, and we close at 6:00 PM.
That means this position offers something unusual for an experienced hospitality professional:
A serious restaurant leadership career with a schedule that still allows you to have a life outside of work.
You'll also be joining an established, growing local business with an opportunity to help shape how we operate as we enter our next stage of growth.
Compensation
$55,000 annual salary
Performance bonus opportunity
Benefits include:
- Consistent schedule
- No late nights
- Free shift meals
- Employee discount
- Paid vacation eligibility
