General Manager

Georgia’s Original Brewpub

Max Lager’s is seeking a proven hospitality leader to serve as General Manager of Georgia’s longest standing brewpub. Located in the heart of Downtown Atlanta, Max Lager’s has been a cornerstone of the city’s dining and craft beer scene for more than 28 years.

We are not simply looking for a floor manager. We are seeking a business operator, culture builder, and revenue driver who understands high-volume restaurants, craft beer programs, and large-scale event execution.

Max Lager’s Wood-Fired Grill & Brewery is Georgia’s longest continuously operating brewpub. We combine a wood-fired grill kitchen, an in-house brewery, and dynamic private event spaces in one of Atlanta’s busiest convention corridors.

Our business is driven by:

• High-volume convention traffic
• Corporate private dining and large-scale events
• Game days and downtown activations
• A loyal local following built over nearly three decades

The General Manager is fully responsible for the financial performance, culture, and operational excellence of the restaurant.

This is a hands-on leadership role overseeing:

• Daily restaurant operations
• P&L management and prime cost discipline
• Large-scale private events and banquet execution
• Convention volume surges
• Craft beer program knowledge and guest engagement
• Leadership development of managers and hourly teams
• Collaboration with our brewery team

You must be comfortable leading a restaurant that can shift from steady lunch service to full buyouts and 300+ guest events.

• 5+ years experience as a GM in a high-volume, full-service restaurant
• Strong understanding of craft beer and brewery operations
• Proven P&L accountability
• Experience executing large-scale events and private dining
• Confidence leading during peak convention surges
• Strong floor presence and hospitality mindset
• Ability to coach and develop management teams
• Operational discipline without sacrificing culture

Beer knowledge is a plus. You do not need to be a brewer, but you must be comfortable speaking confidently about house-brewed beer, food pairings, and the brewpub model.

• Strong and consistent prime costs
• High team retention and culture stability
• Seamless execution of large events
• Elevated guest experience
• Strategic growth in downtown market share
