Virgil's Real BBQ is one of New York City's most iconic barbecue destinations — high-energy, high-volume, and built on serious hospitality. We're looking for a Restaurant Manager who leads from the floor, knows how to run a fast-paced house, and genuinely loves taking care of people.

As a Restaurant Manager, you'll own the full operation: driving sales and revenue, delivering exceptional service, managing profitability, growing banquet sales, supporting marketing efforts, and building a team that performs at the highest level. This role calls for a hands-on leader with a sharp eye for detail and a real passion for hospitality.

What You'll Do

Lead the team to deliver an exceptional guest experience, every shift, every day.
Oversee all front-of-house functions during opening, mid, and closing shifts — guest relations, team supervision, restaurant ambiance, and quality assurance across food and beverage, including weekly and monthly inventory.
Execute and enforce Company standards and policies, continuously raising the bar on quality, service, and operations.
Schedule, coach, and develop team members — setting clear expectations and holding the team accountable.
Work with urgency and efficiency — prioritizing, delegating, and empowering your team to get things done right.

What You Bring

2–5 years of restaurant management experience, ideally in a high-volume casual or fine dining environment ($10M+).
Proficiency with Toast, OpenTable, Excel, Word, and timekeeping systems.
Strong judgment and the ability to make sound decisions quickly under pressure.
A genuine passion for service and exceeding guest expectations.
Excellent communication skills across all levels — management, servers, team members, and guests.
Strong interpersonal and people-management skills.
A reliable, dependable, guest- and team-focused approach to the job.
Fluency in English.
Flexibility to work varied shifts, including weekends.
