THE OPTIMIST RESTAURANT MANAGER - UP TO $70K/yr. + BONUS (Midtown)

Optimist Atlanta
Atlanta, GA

At Rocket Farm Restaurants, the core philosophy that defines our culture is “We serve the person who is serving the guest.” Our culture is not something we act out on the floor of the restaurant. It starts with how we treat and serve one another in the kitchen – with dignity, respect, and care. We believe there should be no difference in how we treat and serve one another in the kitchen and how we treat and serve our guests in the dining room. We hope you agree and will consider joining us!

The Optimist brings a seaside fish camp experience to landlocked Atlantans with high quality, sustainably sourced seafood and beach-food classics that transport you to your favorite seaside haunts.

The Optimist is seeking a Restaurant Manager to helm our renowned team!

The Restaurant Manager maintains the daily log for communication between restaurant staff and management and aggressively monitors labor, scheduling and overtime to ensure maximum productivity and profit. 3-years of progressive restaurant experience preferred, one of which in a supervisory or management position. Apply today and become part of a dynamic, innovative, and heartfelt group of unique individuals!
