Restaurant General Manager

A newly established, full-service Italian restaurant in Peachtree City is seeking a charismatic and hospitality-driven General Manager to lead its front-of-house operation.

This approachable neighborhood concept serves handcrafted Italian-inspired dishes, fresh pasta, pizza, wine, spritzes, and cocktails in a lively yet polished environment. The restaurant is designed to become a community gathering place where first-time guests quickly feel like regulars.

We are looking for a dynamic leader who loves being on the floor, building relationships, and creating an atmosphere people want to return to. This is not an office-focused management position. The right General Manager will be highly visible, naturally engaging, and comfortable becoming a recognizable part of the local community.

• Serve as the visible face of the restaurant and maintain a strong presence throughout service
• Build lasting relationships with regulars, first-time guests, families, and community members
• Lead all front-of-house operations, including the dining room, patio, bar, reservations, and takeout
• Create a warm, lively, and approachable neighborhood atmosphere
• Hire, train, schedule, coach, and develop managers and hourly employees
• Lead pre-shift meetings and maintain strong menu and beverage knowledge across the team
• Train employees on wine, cocktails, spritzes, suggestive selling, and hospitality standards
• Create personalized guest experiences and resolve concerns with urgency and professionalism
• Monitor service flow, table touches, ticket times, reservations, takeout, and overall presentation
• Partner closely with culinary leadership to maintain strong communication between FOH and BOH
• Drive restaurant, beverage, private-event, and repeat-guest sales
• Manage labor, operating expenses, inventory, and other controllable costs
• Review financial results and implement strategies that improve performance
• Oversee cash handling, deposits, invoices, and administrative procedures
• Maintain compliance with alcohol-service, food-safety, sanitation, and employment requirements
• Represent the restaurant professionally within the Peachtree City community
• Help strengthen systems, culture, and guest loyalty within a newer restaurant
• Create an energetic, respectful, and accountable workplace culture

• Previous General Manager, Assistant General Manager, or senior restaurant leadership experience
• Background in polished casual, upscale casual, Italian, pizza, or another full-service restaurant concept
• Strong front-of-house and guest-relations experience
• Naturally engaging personality and professional presence
• Genuine passion for neighborhood hospitality and building regular business
• Working wine and beverage knowledge
• Ability to confidently recommend wine, cocktails, and other beverages
• Experience training service teams on food, beverages, and hospitality standards
• Proven ability to hire, develop, motivate, and retain employees
