Restaurant General Manager; Confidential

Position Overview

A confidential, high‑profile hospitality group is seeking an accomplished Restaurant General Manager to lead the flagship dining venue of a newly reimagined luxury hotel in Manhattan. This is a rare opportunity to join an elevated, design‑driven environment where culinary excellence, polished service, and modern hospitality converge. The restaurant serves as the property’s signature social hub, attracting a discerning mix of hotel guests, local regulars, and destination diners.

The Restaurant General Manager will oversee all front‑of‑house operations for a chef‑driven, high‑visibility restaurant within a luxury hotel setting. This leader will shape service culture, drive operational performance, and ensure that every guest interaction reflects the standards of a top‑tier New York dining experience. The role requires a balance of floor presence, strategic thinking, and the ability to build a cohesive, hospitality‑forward team.

Working closely with culinary leadership and hotel executives, the GM will guide the restaurant’s identity, elevate service execution, and support the venue’s reputation as a premier dining destination.

• Full operational oversight of a high‑volume, upscale restaurant within a luxury hotel
• Leadership, coaching, and development of a diverse FOH team, with a focus on professionalism and service consistency
• Collaboration with the Executive Chef to align service flow, menu knowledge, and guest engagement
• Ownership of financial performance, including labor management, forecasting, and revenue optimization
• Implementation of service standards, training programs, and performance expectations that support a luxury environment
• Active floor leadership during peak periods, ensuring seamless execution and personalized guest interactions
• Management of reservations, VIP experiences, and special events
• Partnership with hotel leadership on marketing initiatives, guest feedback, and operational strategy

This opportunity is designed for a hospitality leader who thrives in a refined, fast‑paced environment and understands the nuance of luxury service. The ideal candidate brings a modern, approachable leadership style, strong financial acumen, and the ability to inspire teams while maintaining a calm, confident presence on the floor. They should be comfortable operating within a confidential, high‑expectation setting and capable of representing the restaurant with discretion, professionalism, and strategic insight.

This is not a typical hotel restaurant GM position. You will be stepping into a confidential, flagship venue that blends the sophistication of a luxury hotel with the energy and creativity of a standalone, chef‑driven concept. The role offers meaningful influence over service culture, guest experience, and operational direction—making it a career‑defining opportunity for the right leader.
