At Snoqualmie Valley Health,we’renot just in the business of healthcare;we’rein the business of empowering our community to live boldly and live well.

Our commitment to excellence and innovation calls for team memberswhowillbuild trust,obsess over excellence, lead innovation,anddeepen connections within our community.

We are guided by our core values, andwe’relooking for someone who can embody those principles as part of our dynamic and growing team.

Located in a trailblazing, adventure-loving town at the base of the Cascades, Snoqualmie Valley Health is an independent public hospital district serving a vibrant community that thrives on both adventure and connection. This is more than a job—it’san opportunity to be part of something bigger.

We’re looking for a General Manager to lead two distinct hospitality concepts built around a shared idea: great food and genuine hospitality can bring people together.

Taverna is an intimate, ingredient-driven restaurant and bar celebrating the Pacific Northwest through a modern Italian lens. The menu highlights seasonal ingredients, local farms, Northwest seafood, sourdough pizza, thoughtful cocktails, and food that feels both familiar and unexpected.

Dear Friend is our café and all-day gathering place—great coffee, house-made pastries, approachable food, grab-and-go offerings, and a focus on making quality part of the everyday routine.

Together, the concepts are part of a larger vision from Snoqualmie Valley Health to expand the idea of wellness beyond traditional healthcare and create a place where our community can eat, gather, and connect.

The General Manager will oversee the day-to-day operations of both Taverna and Dear Friend while helping establish the culture, systems, and service standards that will define them.

You’ll work closely with the Food & Beverage Director, Chef de Cuisine, Sous Chef, and café and restaurant teams to create an operation that delivers exceptional hospitality while remaining financially disciplined and operationally sound.

• Lead daily FOH and café operations across both concepts
• Recruit, train, develop, schedule, and coach a high-performing hospitality team
• Establish and maintain service standards for Taverna and Dear Friend
• Build a culture centered on hospitality, accountability, teamwork, and continuous improvement
• Manage labor, scheduling, sales performance, and controllable operating expenses
• Partner with culinary leadership on menu launches, seasonal changes, events, and guest experience
• Oversee beverage, coffee, and bar operations
• Maintain strong inventory, cash-handling, POS, opening, closing, and operational controls
• Use sales and operational data to make informed decisions and improve profitability
• Develop relationships with guests and become an active presence within the Snoqualmie Valley community
• Help bring two new hospitality concepts from vision to successful daily operation

You’re a hospitality leader who understands that great restaurants require both heart and discipline
.

You know how to create a memorable guest experience without losing sight of labor, cost controls, training, consistency, and profitability. You enjoy building teams, developing people, solving problems, and creating systems that make operations better.
