ASSISTANT GENERAL MANAGER - FINE DINING CONCEPT 

THIS OPPORTUNITY IS BASED IN UPSTATE NEW YORK - MUST BE WILLING TO RELOCATE!!

We are seeking an Assistant General Manager with Fine Dining experience (will consider an experienced Restaurant Manager eager to grow)

A new fine dining restaurant has opened its doors, offering a refined and immersive culinary experience where exceptional service, elegant design, and thoughtful hospitality come together. With a vision rooted in excellence and a guest-first philosophy, this family-owned concept seeks an experienced Assistant General Manager (AGM) to help lead its launch and set a new standard for elevated dining.


Position Overview

The AGM will work closely with ownership and the leadership team to oversee day-to-day front-of-house operations. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a highly collaborative environment, values open communication, and embraces the opportunity to build something extraordinary as part of a unified team.

As this is a family-owned and operated concept, the ideal candidate will be comfortable working alongside hands-on owners, contributing ideas, receiving feedback, and maintaining flexibility as the restaurant evolves. A spirit of partnership, humility, and shared vision is essential.


Key Responsibilities

  • Guide and support all service operations, ensuring each guest experience is polished, consistent, and exceptional.
  • Collaborate with ownership and leadership on strategic and operational decisions, helping to shape the restaurant’s culture and standards from the ground up.
  • Assist with recruitment, onboarding, and training of front-of-house staff, cultivating a professional, team-oriented environment rooted in hospitality and mutual respect.
  • Maintain constant communication with the culinary team to ensure smooth coordination and impeccable service flow.
  • Actively manage the dining room during service, resolving issues with discretion and ensuring a welcoming, attentive atmosphere.
  • Support with scheduling, inventory oversight, vendor communication, and compliance with all health and safety standards.
  • Participate in the planning and execution of private dining events, seasonal offerings, and guest engagement initiatives.


Who You Are

  • An experienced hospitality professional with a background in fine dining or upscale restaurant leadership.
  • Naturally collaborative and open to feedback, with a team-first mindset and a strong sense of humility.
  • Comfortable working closely with owners and leadership in a hands-on, family-run environment.
  • Calm and composed in high-pressure settings, with excellent communication, organizational, and interpersonal skills.
  • Passionate about service excellence, with a detail-oriented approach and a genuine desire to elevate the guest experience.
  • Excited to contribute to the launch and long-term success of a new concept, offering both insight and adaptability.

Preferred Background

  • Prior experience opening a fine dining restaurant or working in a leadership role within a similar service setting.
  • Familiarity with luxury service protocols, wine and beverage pairings, and elevated guest relations.
  • Knowledge of restaurant systems, including POS, reservation platforms, scheduling tools, and inventory management.
  • Certifications in food safety and responsible alcohol service are a plus.


Benefits

We are committed to taking care of our team. The GM role includes:

  • Comprehensive Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance
  • Paid Time Off (PTO)
  • Bonus Potential & Profit Sharing Opportunities
  • Long-Term Growth & Leadership Development

This is a rare opportunity to be part of a thoughtful, high-end concept from its inception, working side-by-side with passionate ownership to bring a vision to life. If you're a collaborative leader who finds energy in building something meaningful with a close-knit team, we’d love to hear from you.
