Summit Search Group has been retained by MLS Management to recruit a Restaurant & Hospitality General Manager for Tapp’s Neighbourhood Pub and the Clarion Pointe Hotel in St. Vital, Winnipeg. MLS Management is a locally owned, family-run hospitality group operating a portfolio of branded hotels and related businesses across Winnipeg and beyond, including multiple Choice Hotels and Marriott-branded properties. The group has built a strong reputation through years of hands-on, owner-operated management and a commitment to both the guest experience and the people who deliver it.

Food and beverage is at the heart of this opportunity. Tapp’s Neighbourhood Pub seats over 300 guests, including a VLT lounge, and is one of the busiest sports-pub operations in the local market. Operating alongside the boutique Clarion Pointe Hotel and Cold Beer Market under one roof, this is a high-volume, multi-department operation with the complexity and performance expectations of a much larger enterprise.

The Opportunity
Reporting directly to ownership, the Restaurant & Hospitality General Manager is the senior operational leader of the entire property, with full accountability for Tapp’s Neighbourhood Pub, Cold Beer Market, the hotel, and a commercial tenant portfolio.

With a strong emphasis on food and beverage performance, the GM leads department managers across bar operations, the beer store, front desk, and accounting, providing the oversight, coaching, and accountability that keep a busy, high-revenue property running profitably and to standard.

This is a hands-on leadership prospect for an experienced restaurant, pub,



or food and beverage leader who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is ready to oversee a broader hospitality operation. Hotel management experience is an asset, but the core requirement is a strong track record of leading high-volume food and beverage operations.

Key Responsibilities

Lead the day-to-day performance of Tapp’s Neighbourhood Pub, including its 300+ seats and VLT lounge, while overseeing Cold Beer Market, the hotel, and commercial tenant portfolio.

Lead, coach, and develop department managers across bar operations, the beer store, front desk, and accounting, setting clear expectations and building a culture of accountability, service excellence, and continuous improvement.

Own the financial performance of the property, including budget development, revenue forecasting, labour and operating cost controls, and regular reporting to ownership, with particular attention to food and beverage profitability.

Maintain high standards of food, beverage, and guest experience by monitoring service, product quality, and operating standards across the pub, hotel, and beer store, and driving ongoing improvements.

Provide HR leadership across the property, including recruitment, onboarding, training, scheduling, performance reviews, coaching, and disciplinary processes, ensuring the team is well-supported and set up to succeed.

Uphold health, safety,



sanitation, and licensing standards across the operation, ensuring compliance with applicable regulations and a safe, secure environment for guests, staff, and commercial tenants.

Qualifications

A minimum of five years of progressive management experience in restaurant, pub, or food and beverage operations, ideally within a high-volume environment.

Experience as a Restaurant General Manager, Pub General Manager, Food & Beverage Manager, or in a comparable hospitality leadership role.

Experience within a corporate or branded restaurant group, with an understanding of operating policies, procedures, and reporting structures. Full-service hotel experience is an asset.

Demonstrated experience managing budgets, forecasting revenue, controlling labour and operating costs, and driving profitability.

A hands-on leadership style, comfort in a fast-paced environment, and the ability to provide the flexibility and operational presence a busy hospitality business requires.

Strong written and verbal communication skills, an excellent customer service orientation, and the ability to build lasting relationships with guests, staff, and ownership.

Familiarity with the Winnipeg hospitality market and Manitoba’s commission-based beer store model is an asset.

Post-secondary education in Restaurant & Hospitality Management is an asset but is not required.
