Job Description
Overview
We’re looking for a leader—not just a manager.
This is an opportunity for a high-potential operator to step into a high-volume location and make a real impact. The ideal candidate is someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, takes ownership, and is motivated by growth, both personally and professionally.
This role offers a clear path toward increased responsibility, equity, and potential ownership for the right individual.
What You’ll Own
Full P&L responsibility for a high-volume downtown location
Recruiting, hiring, and developing a high-performing team
Delivering an exceptional guest experience on every shift
Driving sales while managing food and labor costs
Creating a strong, positive, and accountable team culture
What We’re Looking For
2–4+ years of restaurant management experience (fast-casual preferred)
A natural leader who earns respect through action and consistency
Strong operational and financial acumen
Hands-on, floor-driven leadership style
Adaptable, resilient, and composed under pressure
Local to Pittsburgh or open to relocation
What You’ll Get
Base salary: $70,000–$80,000 (commensurate with experience)
Performance-based bonus tied to store metrics
Equity/ownership opportunity for high performers
Health insurance
Meal benefits
Career growth with a fast-scaling brand
Why This Role
This is not a maintenance role—it’s a build-and-grow opportunity. You’ll have real ownership over the business, the team, and the results, with the ability to directly influence the success of the operation.
