GENERAL MANAGER – PUR AND EASY (FRONT AND CHERRY - CANARY LANDING - DISTILLERY DISTRICT)

WHAT THE ROLE ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE

You are the first one in. Doors open early, the kitchen moves fast, and the dining room fills up quickly. Peak service means 6–8 servers on the floor, 3–4 cooks behind the line, and tables turning frequently. You're not watching from the back — you're on the floor, in the kitchen, and making calls in real time.

You'll manage shifts alongside the store owner. That means covering openings, being present during the rush, and handing off with clear communication. Some days are smooth. Some aren't. The job is to handle both the same way.

The numbers matter too. You'll track labour, food cost, and daily performance against targets. We are looking for consistent execution every single morning.

WHAT YOU'LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR

- Opening the restaurant and setting the team up for a clean, fast service Overseeing front-of-house and back-of-house through breakfast and brunch rushes Hiring, training, and scheduling a team of about 20 Holding the line on food quality and consistency Keeping food cost and labour on target Handling inventory, ordering, and supplier relationships Managing guest issues directly and calmly Working alongside your team so shifts hand off without things falling through the cracks Reporting daily performance and flagging issues before they become patterns





WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR You've worked in food service long enough to know that mornings are their own world. You're someone who likes the energy of a busy breakfast shift — the pace, the rhythm, the moment when everything clicks.

You lead by being present. Your team knows where you are and what you expect. You don't need to raise your voice to get things done, and you don't disappear when it gets hard. People want to come to work when you're running the shift.

You care about the guest experience. You know when to step in and when to let the team handle it. You give feedback in the moment, not in a meeting three days later.

You're comfortable with the business side. Labour percentages, food cost variance, daily reporting — these aren't things you hand off to someone else. You understand that a well-run restaurant is what makes everything else possible.

Previous GM or senior management experience in a high-volume restaurant is required. Breakfast or brunch background is a real advantage. Franchise experience is helpful, but not essential — what matters more is that you've done this before and you're good at it.
