Restaurant General Manager
Confidential Resort Property | Southeastern U.S. | $75,000–$85,000 + Bonus + Relocation

The incoming GM will be charged with developing and executing operational SOPs, elevating service culture, and bringing a high level of polish and professionalism to a team in transition. The role also provides oversight of events and banquets as needed until a Banquet Director is in place.
Compensation & Benefits
- Base Salary : $75,000 to $85,000
- Bonus : 10 to 15 percent discretionary bonus in 2026
- Relocation : Support provided (in development)
