DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS

Show Stoppers Family Dining & Entertainment | Lincoln, Nebraska

Come Build Something With Us.

Show Stoppers isn't your typical restaurant—and we're not looking for a typical Director of Operations.

We're a growing, family-built dining and entertainment company where food, music, hospitality and people come together to create something special. We're serious about performance, but we're equally serious about building a place where our team feels valued, supported and excited about what we're creating together.


Now we're looking for an experienced restaurant operator to help us build the next chapter.


THE ROLE

This is a builder's position.

You'll work alongside ownership to strengthen our current operation, develop leaders, create scalable systems and help build the operational foundation for future growth.

You'll have your hands in:

  • Restaurant operations and profitability
  • Food and labor cost management
  • Systems, standards and accountability
  • Manager development and team culture
  • Training and guest experience
  • Operational planning and future growth

This isn't a position for someone looking to inherit a polished corporate playbook.

We're looking for someone excited to help write it.


YOU MIGHT BE OUR PERSON IF...

You have significant restaurant leadership experience and know how to balance people, performance and profitability.

You've owned P&Ls, managed food and labor costs, developed managers, improved operations and built systems that actually work in the real world.

Multi-unit leadership, restaurant openings and growth experience are strongly preferred.


But experience alone isn't enough.

We're looking for someone who leads from the floor, builds trust, holds people accountable, solves problems and isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves.

We work hard. We laugh. We sing. We celebrate wins. We take care of our guests—and we take care of each other.


We're building a company, but we're also building a family.

THE OPPORTUNITY

We're intentionally not putting the entire roadmap in a job posting.

What we can tell you is this:

We're thinking bigger.

The person who joins us now won't simply manage where Show Stoppers is today. You'll have the opportunity to help shape what it becomes tomorrow.

Competitive executive compensation based on experience, with additional opportunity discussed with qualified candidates.
