Restaurant General Manager – No Late Nights

Fredericksburg, Virginia | Up to $85K Base | $100K Total Comp Target + Profit Sharing

The Opportunity

Looking for a General Manager role where running a serious restaurant doesn’t mean closing the building at midnight?

We’re hiring an experienced Restaurant General Manager to lead a successful, high-volume, full-service restaurant in Fredericksburg, Virginia.

This is a $4M+ operation featuring a scratch kitchen and full bar, so we need an accomplished operator who understands the numbers, develops strong teams, and knows how to deliver a polished guest experience.

The difference? This opportunity offers the autonomy and financial upside of a Managing Partner-style role without a financial buy-in—plus a five-day workweek and no late nights.

What You’ll Do

• Take full ownership of a $4M+ restaurant operation
• Manage P&L performance, sales, labor, food cost, inventory, and profitability
• Lead both front- and back-of-house operations
• Hire, coach, develop, and retain a high-performing management and hourly team
• Build a culture of accountability, hospitality, and consistent execution
• Oversee a full bar and beverage program
• Maintain high standards within a quality-driven scratch kitchen environment
• Drive an exceptional guest experience and quickly resolve service issues
• Manage budgets, inventory controls, scheduling, and operational priorities
• Identify opportunities to increase revenue and improve profitability
• Lead from the floor and stay connected to the team and guest experience

What We’re Looking For

• Proven success as a General Manager in a high-volume, full-service restaurant
• Experience managing approximately $4M+ in annual sales
• Strong background with scratch-kitchen operations
• Experience overseeing a comprehensive bar and beverage program
• Strong command of restaurant P&L and cost controls
• Demonstrated ability to build, develop, and retain successful teams
• A track record of driving both operational performance and guest satisfaction
• Strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills
• A hands-on leadership style with the ability to hold teams accountable while creating a positive culture

Compensation & Benefits

Base Salary: Up to $85,000

Total Compensation Target: Up to $100,000

Plus:

• Profit-sharing opportunity
• Managing Partner-style leadership opportunity with no financial buy-in
• Five-day workweek
• No late nights
• Medical, dental, and vision benefits
• Generous vacation and PTO
• Established brand support with significant operational autonomy

Run the Restaurant. Still Have a Life Outside of It.

You’ve already proven you can handle volume, people, numbers, and the pressure that comes with running a successful restaurant.

Your next GM role doesn’t have to come with late-night closes and a schedule that owns your life.
