Restaurant Manager

Saltstayz is looking for a dynamic, unflappable, and commercially savvy Restaurant Manager to lead our team. If you can keep the peace between a stressed-out chef and an over-seated dining room while calculating food costs in your head, we want you. This role is not for the faint of heart, but for those who thrive on controlled chaos and the perfect P&L statement.

Key Responsibilities: The Daily Hustle

• Operational Excellence: Oversee all Front of House (FOH) and Back of House (BOH) operations to ensure a smooth, high-quality, and profitable dining experience, maintaining Saltstayz's commitment to luxury service standards.
• Team Leadership & Development: Recruit, train, schedule, supervise, and motivate a high-performing staff. Conduct performance reviews and — crucial for morale — manage all payroll and HR administration with grace (and accuracy).
• Customer Experience Champion: Be the ultimate host. Manage table reservations, greet guests, resolve customer complaints quickly and professionally, and ensure exceptional service standards are met consistently, turning first-time diners into Saltstayz regulars.
• Financial Management: Control operational costs, including labor and Cost of Goods Sold (CoGS). Manage budgets, track sales, and prepare financial reports. We're looking for an artist, but one who can crunch numbers.
• Inventory & Vendor Relations: Oversee all ordering, stock levels, and inventory management to minimize waste and ensure product availability. Negotiate with suppliers like a pro to secure the best products for Saltstayz.
• Compliance & Safety: Ensure strict adherence to all health, safety, and hygiene regulations, including food safety and licensing laws. Keep us out of trouble!
• Menu & Quality Control: Work with the Head Chef to plan profitable menus, manage pricing, and maintain the highest quality of food and beverage service, reflecting the Saltstayz brand.

Qualifications & Skills: What You Bring to the Table

• Proven Experience: Minimum of [7-11] years of proven experience as a Restaurant Manager, Assistant Manager, or a similar leadership role in a high-volume or hotel-based hospitality setting.
• Leadership & Communication: Exceptional interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills. The ability to lead by example and inspire a diverse team.
• Business Acumen: Strong financial management skills and a clear understanding of profitability, budgeting, and cost control.
• Problem-Solving: Ability to remain calm, cool, and collected under pressure, making quick, effective decisions to solve inevitable daily issues.
• Tech Savvy: Familiarity with POS systems, restaurant management software, and basic bookkeeping/office software.
• Availability: Willingness to work flexible hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays—because, well, exceptional service doesn't keep a 9-to-5 schedule.

We Offer:

• Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses.
• Opportunity to lead a bustling, upscale venue within the Saltstayz brand.

If you can balance a tray, a budget, and a busy night with a smile, apply today. We look forward to meeting the next commander of our kitchen and dining room at Saltstayz.
