General Manager

Blues. Brews. Burgers. Leadership.

Huey’s has been a Memphis favorite for over 50 years—and we’re still growing. We’re looking for a strong, confident General Manager who knows how to lead a full-service restaurant, build great teams, and deliver exceptional guest experiences without losing the fun along the way.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, love being on the floor, and know how to balance people, food, and numbers—this role is for you.

• Lead from the Floor — Work the floor during peak times—greeting guests, supporting staff, running food, and ensuring service flows smoothly; set the tone for hospitality and create regulars, not just transactions; step in, solve problems, and turn challenges into wins.
• Build & Lead a Winning Team — Hire, train, develop, coach, and retain a strong team of managers and hourly employees; create a positive, accountable culture with high morale and high standards; communicate clearly and consistently with your team—no surprises, no confusion; handle performance issues confidently and professionally when needed.
• Run the Business — Create and manage schedules that balance service, labor targets, and team well-being; control labor costs, review punches, and adjust staffing based on volume—shift by shift; manage inventory (food, liquor, beer, wine, and dry goods) with precision; compile weekly P&Ls and confidently present monthly financials to leadership; complete special projects and reports as requested by senior leadership.
• Own Compliance & Standards — Ensure compliance with all alcohol laws and TNABC regulations; maintain an up-to-date ABC binder and verify valid ABC cards for all applicable staff; enforce food safety, sanitation, cleanliness, and health department standards; train and hold the team accountable to company policies and operational expectations.
• Be the Problem Solver — Address guest, employee, vendor, and property concerns with professionalism and urgency; stay calm under pressure and lead with confidence—even when things get busy.

• You’re not new to this. You’re ready to lead.
• 3+ years of full-service restaurant General Manager or Restaurant Manager experience
• Strong leadership presence and the confidence to make decisions
• Proven ability to manage people, operations, and finances simultaneously
• Excellent communication skills—written, verbal, and interpersonal
• Detail-oriented, organized, and deadline-driven
• Comfortable with restaurant systems and reporting (MS Office required; One POS a)
• Serv Safe® or equivalent food safety certification preferred
• Able to meet physical demands of restaurant leadership (on your feet, active, hands-on)

• Free shift meals
• 50% employee discount when off the clock
• Medical, Dental and Vision insurance
• Term Life
• Employee Assistance Program
• Vacation Eligibility after 6 months
• Potential Quarterly Bonuses
• House Account
• 401(k)
• Short and long term disability income protection

The Bottom Line

This is a true General Manager role for someone who wants ownership, respect, and the ability to run a great restaurant the right way.

If you’re ready to lead with confidence, build something you’re proud of, and still enjoy coming to work—we want to meet you.

Join our team! Fun atmosphere, great work environment, and excellent benefits.
