Restaurant Manager

See No Evil Pizza is a Michelin-recognized, high-energy, high-volume full-service pizzeria tucked inside the 50th Street subway station in Midtown Manhattan. It's one of New York's best kept secrets, and the guests who find us tend to come back. The culinary program consistently surprises people, the wine program is intentional, and the team genuinely cares about what they put out every night. We're proud of the recognition we've earned, but what we're most proud of is the room we've built and the people in it.

We're hiring a Restaurant Manager who can hold down both sides of the job. This is a real leadership role with real responsibility, floor leadership, operations, people management, and everything in between. If you're a career hospitality professional who thrives when no two days look the same and wants to work somewhere ownership actually invests in their team, we'd love to talk.

Operations and Administration:

• Support ownership in overseeing the full scope of restaurant operations
• Manage staff scheduling, labor tracking, and timekeeping across front-of-house
• Assist with inventory management, ordering, and cost controls for non-consumable goods
• Maintain vendor relationships and coordinate supply ordering, with support from back of house management
• Ensure opening and closing procedures are executed consistently and to standard
• Assist in the development and maintenance of SOPs across service, administration, and daily workflows
• Support HR functions including onboarding, training, and performance documentation
• Communicate regularly with ownership on operational updates, staffing needs, and service observations
• Assist with financial reporting, sales tracking, and end-of-day reconciliation
• Develop and present marketing initiatives, brand ideas, and program suggestions to ownership, informed by direct observation of daily operations and the guest experience

Service and Floor Leadership:

• Serve as a primary floor leader during service, working alongside a floor captain to maintain pace, standards, and team morale throughout each shift
• Run pre-shift meetings, assign positions, and set the tone and priorities for the floor before doors open
• Manage reservations, walk-ins, and large party coordination with composure and professionalism
• Handle guest concerns with confidence, care, and discretion
• Lead and develop a team of servers, support staff, and bartenders
• Model and reinforce the hospitality standards that define the guest experience at See No Evil Pizza on every shift

What we're looking for:

• Experience as an Assistant General Manager, Senior Floor Manager, or comparable hospitality leadership role at a high-volume, full-service restaurant or bar in New York City
• Background in Michelin-recognized or fine-casual service a strong plus
• A natural leader who builds trust with a team quickly and leads with consistency, care, and transparency
• Open to feedback and genuinely committed to growing in the role
• Highly organized and detail-oriented, with strong instincts for both people management and operational problem-solving
• Clear, direct, and professional communicator across all levels, from line staff to ownership
• Working knowledge of restaurant POS and reservation management platforms, including back-end reporting functions; experience with Square a plus
• NYC Food Protection Certificate required (or willingness to obtain promptly)
• TIPS Certification or equivalent alcohol service training required

Compensation and details:

• $75,000–$90,000/year based on experience
• Full-time, including evenings, weekends, and holidays as needed
• Located inside the 50th Street subway station, Midtown Manhattan

To apply, please submit a resume and a brief note on your management philosophy and interest in the role.
