  • Weekly and monthly financial review and reporting
  • Implementation of systems, standards, and operational consistency across both properties
  • Partnership with ownership on strategic initiatives and long‑term growth

What You Bring

  • Minimum 5 years of General Manager experience in polished casual, upscale, or chef‑driven environments
  • Proven success managing high‑volume operations ($2M+ preferred)
  • Strong leadership presence with refined communication and guest‑service instincts
  • Ability to manage two properties simultaneously with composure and organization
  • A proactive, self‑motivated approach and genuine ownership mindset
  • Professional polish, emotional intelligence, and a commitment to hospitality excellence
