Job Description

Blue Ribbon Restaurants, LLC is a proud franchisee of Famous Dave's of America, a celebrated name known for its authentic backyard BBQ experience. Our franchise group operates multiple locations across major metropolitan markets including Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, and Washington, D.C. Unlike many other restaurant concepts scaling back, our group has experienced significant growth, tripling in size over the past four years. This growth reflects our commitment to delivering high-quality BBQ food and outstanding service, all rooted in a fun-loving and energetic culture. We take great pride in being the home of the "World's Greatest Ribs," offering scratch-kitchen meals featuring genuine, in-house smoked meats, homemade sides and desserts, and handcrafted cocktails. We value leaders who are passionate about their work and are eager to mentor, coach, and train teams to uphold Famous Dave's high standards.

We are seeking a Famous Manager to join our dynamic Detroit market team. This role requires someone with the enthusiasm to lead fun and engaging backyard BBQ celebrations on a daily basis. The Manager will be responsible for overseeing and directing all aspects of restaurant operations to ensure sales and profit goals are achieved while maintaining the highest standards of food quality and customer service. The successful candidate will set the tone for each shift, inspiring their team to deliver memorable guest experiences with passion and dedication. This is an excellent opportunity for career advancement within a thriving and expanding franchise network.

The ideal Famous Manager possesses proven leadership capabilities and has at least three years of experience managing in a high-volume, full-service casual dining environment. This person embraces a hands-on, get-it-done work ethic, and demonstrates a commitment to excellence in both Famous Food and Outstanding Service. Given that our Detroit locations cover Westland, Novi, Taylor, and Roseville, candidates must be willing and able to work across a minimum of three locations within this market. We are looking for individuals who thrive in a fast-paced environment, uphold hospitality best practices, and are eager to contribute to our continued growth and success.

In addition to competitive compensation ranging from $50,000 to $65,000 starting salary, we provide attainable quarterly bonuses, comprehensive medical and dental insurance, paid vacations, and a 401K plan with matching contributions. To support work-life balance and professional development, our benefits package also includes generous comp privileges, uniform and technology reimbursements, health and wellness incentives, competitive dining reimbursements, and continuing education opportunities. We also offer a 6-week hands-on management training curriculum to ensure new Managers are well-equipped to succeed from day one with guidance from an experienced training team. Join Blue Ribbon Restaurants, LLC to be part of a passionate team dedicated to serving great food while creating unforgettable guest experiences in a vibrant BBQ atmosphere.
