About the job
General Manager
Wood fired restaurant & bar
Historic town in West Virginia
$60k-70k plus relocation and benefits
A well-established, independently owned restaurant and bar is searching for its next General Manager. Now in its second decade, the concept centers on wood-fired pizza, smoked wings, scratch-made salads, and a full bar with local and regional craft beer and wine. A recent move into a larger, custom-built space in a historic downtown added live music and expanded event capacity.
The restaurant draws a loyal local and visitor following, built on food, hospitality, and atmosphere. Ownership is hands-on and looking for a General Manager to run daily operations and grow its reputation further.
What You’ll Do
Own full P&L: budgeting, forecasting, labor and cost control, profitability
Hire, train, and lead a front- and back-of-house team; set the tone for hospitality and culture
Oversee the beverage program alongside the kitchen and bar teams
Maintain food safety, health, and liquor licensing compliance
Manage scheduling, inventory, vendor relationships, and daily readiness
Plan and run live music nights, private events, and seasonal programming
Serve as the face of the restaurant for guests, staff, and the community
Partner directly with ownership on the restaurant’s direction
What We’re Looking For
3+ years as a General Manager or Assistant General Manager in a full-service restaurant with a bar program; casual or upscale-casual preferred
Scratch-kitchen experience; wood-fired pizza a strong plus
Working knowledge of craft beer and wine a plus
ServSafe certified, or willing to obtain
A hands-on, visible leadership style suited to a small, close-knit team
Genuine interest in small-town living; candidates relocating from larger markets welcome
Why This Role
A beloved, profitable restaurant with full ownership support and real creative latitude, in a community known for outdoor recreation, arts, and a strong sense of place. Ideal for a General Manager who wants more say over direction than a corporate structure allows.
