General Manager

An innovative, high-growth outdoor food and beverage destination in Sacramento, CA, is seeking a high-performing General Manager to take full operational and P&L ownership of the entire property. This unique concept combines an outdoor social hub with a multi-unit commercial kitchen housing top local food concepts, with full liquor service launching soon. Under strong operational backing, the property is entering a high-growth phase, offering an ambitious hospitality leader the opportunity to complete an operational buildout, drive profitability, and eventually oversee multi-unit expansion. Located in the heart of Sacramento, this position offers the chance to lead a premier local destination in a vibrant, sun-drenched Northern California market known for its booming farm-to-fork dining scene, rich culture, and accessible outdoor recreation.

Position Responsibilities

• Oversee full P&L and financial performance across both venue and commercial kitchen operations, managing cost lines, labor forecasting, and profitability strategies.

• Lead the operational turnaround plan, driving peak season profitability, off-season stability, full kitchen occupancy, and event revenue growth.

• Spearhead the launch of full bar service, including cocktail menu development, staff hiring/training, inventory controls, and ticket size growth.

• Direct daily floor operations, ensuring exceptional guest experience, brand standards, site cleanliness, and high team energy.

• Hire, train, and manage key leadership roles—including sales/marketing, bar management, and kitchen coordination—building a strong internal talent pipeline.

• Implement operational discipline and weekly tracking metrics (utilizing EOS processes) to maintain labor costs under budget and pour costs below target metrics.

• Maintain complete regulatory compliance across health, fire, safety, and alcohol beverage control standards.

Position Requirements

• 5+ years of high-volume hospitality management experience with direct, full P&L accountability; food hall, outdoor venue, brewery, or multi-concept experience highly preferred.

• Proven track record running full bar operations, including cocktail menu engineering, bartender training, pour cost management, and liquor compliance.

• Demonstrated history of successfully executing business turnarounds, operational fixes, or growth plans with clear metrics.

• Deep financial acumen with mastery of hospitality metrics, labor forecasting, inventory management, and structured operational routines.

• Hands-on leadership style with a strong presence on the venue floor during peak operational hours (evenings, weekends, and holidays).

• Relevant certifications including California RBS certification and Food Handler card (or ability to obtain immediately upon hire).

Compensation Package Details

• Base Salary: $95,000 – $115,000 (commensurate with experience)

• Profit Incentive: Uncapped quarterly profit-sharing bonus based on combined business performance

• Health benefits program

• Paid time off (PTO)
