The role of General Manager at Foxtail at the Glenview House is a pivotal leadership position responsible for all aspects of restaurant operations and business performance. This position requires a hands-on, operationally proficient individual who will own the day-to-day running of the business rather than merely managing shifts. Reporting directly to ownership, the General Manager will take full accountability for the financial results, guest experience, team leadership, and operational systems. The role involves managing various managers and departments, maintaining service and hospitality standards, enforcing operational systems, and fostering a culture of accountability and excellence.

This role demands a leader who is not only calm under pressure and respected by their team but also obsessed with delivering outstanding guest experiences. A successful candidate will demonstrate strong financial literacy with a clear understanding of P&L, labor costs, and cost of goods sold. Familiarity with technology platforms such as TOAST POS, TOAST Payroll, RESY, Triple Seat, and 7Shifts is a plus, supporting efficient operational workflows.
