General Manager

General Manager – Food & Beverage Space (Beer Garden)

We’re looking for a strong manager to help run a busy food and beverage operation with a large outdoor space in Long Island City.

This is a hands-on role. You’ll be responsible for keeping service tight, staff accountable, and owning key parts of the business—not just managing shifts.

You’ll work directly with ownership and the kitchen team to keep things running at a high level and improve operations over time.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Managing the floor during service and keeping things moving during peak hours
• Hiring, training, and managing front of house staff
• Scheduling and labor control
• Overseeing and maintaining the cocktail program
• Ordering alcohol and managing inventory
• Managing and ordering merchandise
• Handling private party inquiries and helping execute events
• Maintaining service standards, cleanliness, and organization
• Handling guest and staff issues in real time

What We’re Looking For

• Experience managing in a high-volume restaurant or bar
• Proven ability to hire and build a strong team
• Strong presence on the floor — this is not an office role
• Organized and detail-oriented (inventory, scheduling, ordering)
• Someone who takes ownership and wants to improve how things run
• Willing to work nights and weekends

Compensation

• Base salary: $75,000 – $80,000
• Quarterly performance bonus tied to key business metrics
• 5 days paid vacation
• Growth opportunity as the business expands

Other Details

• Location: Long Island City, Queens
• Schedule: 5 days/week (includes nights + weekends)
