What are the responsibilities and job description for the General Manager - Restaurant position at Rustic Golf Properties?
About the Position
Rustic Golf Properties is seeking a hands-on Restaurant General Manager to lead Rustic Grill at Glacier Wood Golf Club.
Rustic Golf Properties operates the restaurant independently from the golf course, and we are looking for someone who can take true ownership of the restaurant's day-to-day operation.
This is not a desk-management position. We are looking for a leader who enjoys being involved in the operation—working with employees, interacting with guests, helping during busy periods and building a strong team and culture.
The General Manager will have significant responsibility and autonomy to run Rustic Grill as a successful business while receiving support from the Rustic Golf Properties leadership team.
What You'll Be Responsible For
- Lead the overall day-to-day operation of Rustic Grill
- Recruit, train, schedule and lead restaurant employees
- Manage and develop the Kitchen Manager and Front-of-House/Bar Lead
- Create schedules based on projected sales and established labor budgets
- Maintain excellent guest service and resolve customer concerns
- Oversee food and beverage ordering and inventory controls
- Monitor food cost, beverage cost, labor and other controllable expenses
- Maintain cash-handling and POS procedures
- Ensure restaurant cleanliness, food safety and liquor-service standards
- Maintain consistent food quality and service standards
- Work closely with Glacier Wood Golf Club management to provide a great experience for golfers and guests
- Help coordinate restaurant events, golf-related functions and other group business
- Review weekly operating results and monthly financial performance
- Identify opportunities to increase sales and improve profitability
- Build a positive, accountable workplace culture
What We're Looking For
We care more about finding the right leader than checking every box on a résumé.
The ideal candidate:
- Has restaurant, bar, hospitality or food-and-beverage management experience
- Is comfortable leading both front-of-house and back-of-house employees
- Understands scheduling and labor management
- Has experience with inventory, ordering and cost controls
- Is comfortable working with budgets and basic restaurant financials
- Communicates clearly and holds employees accountable
- Leads by example and is willing to jump in when the restaurant is busy
- Provides excellent customer service
- Is organized, dependable and able to solve problems independently
- Wants responsibility and enjoys having ownership over results
Compensation
Base Salary: $50,000–$65,000, depending on experience
Performance Bonus: Opportunity to earn up to approximately $7,500 annually based on restaurant performance.
Performance incentives will focus on areas such as:
- Restaurant profitability
- Labor management
- Food and beverage cost control
- Guest experience
- Operational and staffing standards
Schedule
This is a full-time, year-round management position.
The General Manager should expect to work approximately 45–50 hours per week during peak periods, including evenings, weekends and holidays based on business needs.
We believe restaurant managers should be present when their teams and customers need them most, while also creating a management structure that allows our leaders to have a life outside of work.
