General Manager – Mediterranean Fast Casual Restaurant Concept

Restaurant Zone Recruiting
San Diego, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 6/6/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 7/5/2026

Why This Opportunity Is Different

Most restaurant General Manager roles demand year-round intensity with little opportunity to recharge. This opportunity offers something unique.

You'll lead a high-volume, fast-paced restaurant during a 32-week peak operating season while enjoying a significantly reduced workload during the off-season. This allows for greater work-life balance, professional development opportunities, special projects, and additional personal time that is rarely available in the restaurant industry.

If you love restaurant operations but want a more sustainable leadership opportunity, this could be the perfect fit.
