Restaurant Manager

Full-Time | Exempt | Salary: $85,000-$100,000]

Love great food, great people, and a restaurant that runs like clockwork? Thisbowl is looking for a Restaurant Manager to lead our upcoming Manhattan location, someone who can inspire a team, delight guests, and keep the business growing.

About the Role

You’ll own the day-to-day success of the restaurant: the guest experience, the team’s engagement, and the bottom line. Working side by side with our Operations team, you’ll help build one unified leadership team where front and back of house work as one. 

What You’ll Do

• Lead and grow the team. Train, coach, and develop our front-of-house crew, Supervisors, and Mixers. Run daily pre-shift meetings and keep morale and culture strong.
• Deliver an outstanding guest experience. Make sure the space looks, smells, and feels great, from lighting and temperature to cleanliness and seating. Build relationships with regulars and VIPs, and resolve guest concerns with warmth and professionalism.
• Run smart operations. Handle forecasting, ordering, receiving, inventory counts, and cost control. Build schedules that keep us well staffed and within labor budget.
• Own the numbers. Manage weekly payroll, timesheets, daily labor and sales reporting, and new-hire onboarding paperwork.
• Keep it safe and spotless. Uphold all DOH and OSHA standards, inspect equipment and workstations, and act quickly on maintenance and repair needs.
• Drive growth. Work with management and our Marketing team on sales plans, local partnerships, and events that bring new guests through the door.
• Lead by example. Jump into any FOH role when the rush hits, and know our menu and allergen information inside and out.

What You Bring

• 5–7 years of restaurant or fast casual experience, including previous management experience
• A proven track record in operations, team management, and staff development
• NYC Food Protection Certificate
• Comfort with a variety of restaurant technology systems
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to juggle multiple priorities independently
• Availability for nights, weekends, holidays, and a variable schedule
• Ability to stand and walk for 8–10 hours, use stairs between levels, and lift up to 50 lbs

Why Thisbowl

At Thisbowl, we believe in food that makes people feel good and a workplace where people love to show up. You’ll have real ownership, a collaborative leadership team, and the chance to shape the guest experience at a growing brand.
