What we’re looking for!

A growing, chef-driven restaurant group is opening a new fine dining restaurant in the Columbus area. We’re looking for a born leader with a fine dining background to open and lead it from day one. We are a core values–driven company, and we hire leaders who live those values every shift.

· Lead service from the floor and create memorable guest experiences.

· Run the bar, wine and cocktail program, including ordering, inventory and cost.

· Own sales, labor and beverage cost targets.

· Partner closely with an experienced Executive Chef.

What you bring:

· Required: 3+ years as a General Manager in fine dining.

· Mastery of polished, proper service and the ability to teach it.

· A natural leader who builds and keeps great teams.

· Leads by core values and holds the team to them.

· Strong wine, spirits and cocktail knowledge.

· Opening experience a plus.

· Availability nights, weekends and holidays.
