At Whiskey Cake, our General Managers possess a charismatic and outgoing personality that has a positive impact on everyone they interact with.

They are adept at managing the emotional aspects of both team members and guests, and their main objective is to establish authentic connections to create enjoyable and memorable experiences.

Our GMs approach their work with a strategic mindset, constantly coaching and developing their team, and they recognize that overcoming challenges requires more than sheer determination.

empowering others and promoting the growth of future leaders within the team. At Whiskey Cake, we consider ourselves to be in the people business, not simply the restaurant industry.
