Help Build Something Special.

At ZoZo's Kitchen, we're passionate about serving fresh, made-from-scratch food and genuine Southern hospitality. We believe every Guest should feel welcomed, appreciated, and genuinely cared for.

We're growing, and we're looking for leaders who want to help shape what's next. If you take pride in building strong teams, creating an outstanding Guest experience, and holding yourself and others to a high standard, we'd love to meet you.

  • Creating a culture built on accountability, teamwork, urgency, and respect.
  • Driving sales, profitability, labor, food cost, and overall restaurant performance.
  • Maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness, food safety, and operational excellence.
  • Developing future leaders and creating opportunities for your team to grow.
  • Building lasting relationships with Guests and becoming an active part of your community.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for a leader who:

  • Has successful General Manager experience in a high-volume restaurant.
  • Sets high standards and refuses to compromise on food quality or the Guest experience.
  • Leads from the front and never asks someone to do a job they're unwilling to do themselves.
  • Creates clear expectations, coaches consistently, and holds people accountable.
  • Operates with a sense of urgency while maintaining attention to detail.
  • Understands the business side of the restaurant, including labor, food cost, and profitability.
