Full Time Management Charlotte, NC, US

Reports To: General Manager

The Assistant General Manager leads day-to-day Front of House operations at OMB’s Ballantyne location — guest experience, steps of service, FOH team leadership, the bar and beverage program, and floor-level financial controls. This is a hands-on leadership role for an experienced hospitality manager who thrives on a busy floor and takes pride in an exceptional guest experience.

The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery (OMB) is one of Charlotte’s premier destinations for craft beer. Founded in 2009, OMB brews exclusively to the German Purity Law of 1516 — Reinheitsgebot — which requires every beer be made with only four ingredients: water, barley, hops, and yeast. That standard of tradition and authenticity runs through everything we do.

Our original location sits in Charlotte’s Lower South End (LoSo) and features a state-of-the-art production facility, a full-service restaurant, and a one-acre biergarten. In Spring 2024, we expanded with a second location in Ballantyne — a two-story, 14,000-square-foot restaurant and biergarten — and we are opening a third location in September 2026. Our beers are distributed across North Carolina through an independent wholesaler network.

OMB is proud of its community involvement and its place in Charlotte’s beer scene — an iconic representation of German brewing tradition in the South.

OMB’s Ballantyne location is a two-story, 14,000-square-foot restaurant and biergarten — and one of the busiest craft-beer destinations in south Charlotte. The Restaurant Manager sets the tone on the floor every shift: driving sales, upholding our steps of service, and making sure every guest leaves wanting to come back. Reporting to the General Manager, you’ll own the Front of House team and have the authority to make real-time decisions that protect the guest experience.

With a third location opening in September 2026, strong floor leadership at Ballantyne matters more than ever.
