Restaurant General Manager (E Cesar Chavez)

Consider joining our group and be a leader on the opening team of a fresh new concept in East Austin located on Cesar Chavez, less than a mile east of downtown. With a warm and homey vibe by day and a hip, energetic setting late into the evening, our new concept hopes to become a family-friendly neighborhood spot that transitions into a lively destination for diners seeking delicious, nourishing food, inventive cocktails, and cool DJ beats.

Work with industry leaders and highly-regarded local chefs to craft a dynamic new experience for Austin. The industrial-chic space will be home to 65 seats in the main dining room, an open kitchen with wood-burning grill, full bar, spacious plant-filled courtyard, and a private dining room outfitted with karaoke and a DJ booth that can serve a party of up to 75 guests.

Our commitment to our team is to discover the potential in every staff member and to create an environment that will support that potential. This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to be involved in the ins and outs of opening a restaurant and in helping to shape the culture of a new concept. We will provide a stable and healthy source of income in an environment that will strive to support your career goals.
