General Manager | Fast Casual | $70K-$80K | New Store Opening
Job Description
Job Description
Location: New Hyde Park, NY
Salary: $70,000–$80,000 + Bonus + Career Growth
Build Something from the Ground Up.
We're seeking an exceptional General Manager to lead the opening of a brand-new, nationally recognized fast casual restaurant in New Hyde Park, NY.
This is more than a General Manager position, it's an opportunity to launch a flagship location, build your own team, shape the culture from day one, and position yourself for future multi-unit leadership as the company expands across Long Island and Queens.
If you're a high-performing restaurant leader who thrives on ownership, accountability, and developing people, this is the opportunity you've been waiting for.
What You'll Be Responsible For
As the General Manager, you'll have full ownership of the restaurant's success, including:
- Recruiting, hiring, training, and developing an outstanding team
- Creating a culture centered around hospitality, accountability, and teamwork
- Driving sales through local store marketing, community partnerships, and grassroots outreach
- Managing all day-to-day operations while delivering exceptional guest experiences
- Owning financial performance, including labor, food cost, inventory, and profitability
- Leading with energy on the floor while coaching and developing future leaders
- Ensuring operational excellence and consistent execution of brand standards
- Successfully leading the restaurant through opening and long-term growth
What We're Looking For
We're looking for a leader who is ready to grow, not someone looking for just another General Manager role.
Qualifications
- 3+ years of General Manager experience in Fast Casual or QSR
- Proven success managing high-volume restaurant operations
- Full P&L management experience
- Strong leadership and team development skills
- Experience hiring, coaching, and retaining top talent
- Passion for delivering exceptional guest experiences
- Strong local marketing and community engagement experience
- Entrepreneurial mindset with the desire to grow into multi-unit leadership
Requirements
- Valid driver's license
- Reliable personal vehicle
- Must live on Long Island or be willing to relocate
- Ability to travel for approximately six weeks of paid management training prior to the restaurant opening
Compensation & Benefits
- $70,000-$80,000 Annual Base Salary
- Performance-Based Bonus
- Comprehensive Leadership Training
- Health Benefits
- Paid Time Off
- Career Growth Opportunities
- Be part of an expanding restaurant organization with significant advancement potential
Why This Role Stands Out
Opportunities like this don't come along often.
Rather than stepping into an established operation, you'll be entrusted with launching a brand-new restaurant, building your own leadership team, establishing the culture, and making a lasting impact from day one.
As the company continues expanding throughout the region, successful General Managers will be well-positioned for future Area Manager and multi-unit leadership opportunities.
If you're a results-driven restaurant leader ready to take ownership of something exciting and grow with an expanding organization, we'd love to hear from you.
Apply today and help build something exceptional from the very beginning.
