The Proprietor role at Ted's Montana Grill is a critical leadership position responsible for overseeing the entire restaurant's operations under the guidance of the Director of Operations. This role demands a highly capable individual who combines business savvy with hands-on leadership to drive financial success while ensuring outstanding guest satisfaction. The Proprietor leads the team by setting clear expectations, providing honest feedback, and fostering a work environment centered around career growth and personal development. Emphasizing the restaurant’s philosophy that "The Big Sky is the Limit," Proprietors actively maintain an ownership mentality, influencing sales growth, guest service quality, and operational consistency without compromise.

Proprietors are responsible for all facets of the restaurant's success including recruitment, retention, and training of team members to ensure a motivated and skilled workforce. They are directly involved in sales initiatives and community engagement to boost business performance and sustain quality operations. Financial management is paramount; Proprietors set annual budgets, manage weekly profit and loss statements, and collaborate with culinary and front-of-house managers to uphold the highest operational standards. Physical endurance is also essential, as the role requires long hours on the floor in variable temperature environments and occasional lifting of supplies.

This full-time leadership opportunity does not require buy-in but offers Proprietors the empowerment to lead their business with autonomy and impact. Ted's Montana Grill supports its Proprietors with resources and a corporate commitment to equality, being an Equal Opportunity and e-Verify employer.
