Be a leading force in the restaurant in the role of General Manager.
We seek a thoughtful and inspiring leader who understands that exceptional hospitality begins with exceptional people. The General Manager is responsible for setting the tone of the restaurant—creating an environment rooted in excellence, collaboration, mentorship and a genuine desire to make our guests and one another feel cared for.
The ideal candidate is a confident and engaged leader who leads by example, communicates openly, develops others and brings people together around a common purpose. They have an uncompromising attention to detail while recognizing that the strongest teams are built through trust, accountability and meaningful opportunities for others to grow.
Qualified candidates will have 5+ years of management experience in a similar chef-driven environment, a strong desire for knowledge, a profound interest in food and wine, and the drive to continually raise the standards of our profession.

Part of Thomas Keller
With 10 properties and more than 800 employees, the Thomas Keller Restaurant Group (TKRG) has grown from one restaurant to a large family of businesses.
TKRG proudly represents The French Laundry, Per Se, Bouchon Bistro, Bouchon Bakery, Ad Hoc, RO Restaurant & Lounge, The Surf Club Restaurant and The Coral Casino Restaurant by Chef Thomas Keller. The properties and people Chef Keller inspires are known for setting new standards in cuisine, service and employment experiences. Our goal is to collaborate with talented restaurant professionals and offer opportunities to learn and grow within the hospitality profession. As we have expanded over time, the expectations that set apart our restaurants have not changed: ensuring that every guest feels special, and every guest experience is exceptional. A guest can walk into The French Laundry or one of the Bouchon Bakeries and have the most enjoyable, unique and memorable experience. A chef will find the same blue aprons and green tape in each of our kitchens—symbols of a common striving for excellence. Outside the kitchens, every action we take must reflect the generosity, nurturing and finesse within. As members of the TKRG family, we have the responsibility to ensure this consistency. Beyond it all is a mission, perhaps summed up best by Chef Keller himself. “To make people happy, one guest at a time,” he says. “That is what cooking is all about.”
