The Good Eating Company is a renowned hospitality establishment located in the heart of New York City, known for its premium, chef-driven food programs and innovative dining concepts. This company thrives on delivering exceptional culinary experiences through a multifaceted dining operation that blends culinary creativity with operational excellence. As a part of Sodexo's vast network dedicated to enhancing quality of life, The Good Eating Company embodies a commitment to fresh, seasonal ingredients and elevated service standards that appeal to both clients and their guests.

With a strong culture rooted in inclusivity, respect, and dedication to employee well-being, The Good Eating Company values diversity and believes in supporting its employees with equal opportunities and a supportive workplace.

The role of General Manager at The Good Eating Company is a unique leadership position designed for a hospitality-obsessed professional eager to command a dynamic, multi-concept dining operation. This role demands an individual who is not only passionate about exceptional food and superior service but also possesses the business acumen required to drive financial success within a complex, high-energy New York City setting. The General Manager will lead and inspire a talented team responsible for operating a diverse range of hospitality services, including a café, pantry, catering, conference dining, and workplace hospitality. This hands-on leadership position is tailored to ensure every detail—from the food to the service delivery, and the overall atmosphere—is honed to create outstanding guest experiences.

This position involves overseeing daily hospitality operations, ensuring that the culinary offerings are fresh, visually appealing, and high-quality, and strengthening client relationships by providing responsive and innovative solutions. The General Manager will own the financial performance of the operation, managing profit and loss statements, labor costs, and operational expenditures with smart, data-driven decision-making. Furthermore, this leader is expected to foster a culture of team development, hiring and coaching staff to be engaged and proud of their work, while maintaining stringent health, safety, sanitation, and labor compliance standards. Set within the iconic and fast-paced environment of New York City, this role offers the chance to influence the hospitality experience on a significant scale and be part of a mission-driven company that values and nurtures its workforce. Competitive compensation is offered, tailored to a candidate's education and experience. Sodexo’s comprehensive benefits package complements this, making this an exceptional career opportunity for a driven hospitality professional eager to make a difference and grow within a supportive and values-driven organization.
