Restaurant General Manager

Sickies Garage Burgers & Brews | Fargo & Bismarck, North Dakota

You already know how to run a high-volume restaurant. This is one worth running.

$70,000–$80,000 Starting Salary | $15,000–$20,000 Average Annual Performance Bonus | $10,000 Hiring & Retention Bonus | Relocation Assistance Available

This isn't an entry-level GM job. Sickies Garage — a 13-location, founder-built restaurant group known for scratch-kitchen food and a 50+ tap beer program — is hiring a proven operator to take full ownership of a $3.5M+ location in Fargo or Bismarck: your P&L, your team, your results, your upside.

What You'll Earn

• $70,000–$80,000 starting salary

• $15,000–$20,000 average annual performance bonus, with specific bonus parameters discussed during your interview

• $10,000 Hiring & Retention Bonus — $2,500 at GM training completion, 90 days, 6 months, and 12 months

• 100% company-paid health insurance, 3 weeks PTO, vehicle allowance, phone allowance

• Realistic year-one total: $85,000–$100,000+ in salary and bonus, plus the $10K retention bonus

Relocating? We'll cover it for the right candidate — Fargo and Bismarck are two of the fastest-growing, most livable mid-sized cities in the country, and we'll walk you through the move before you ever have to commit to it.

What You'll Own

Full P&L and profitability. Recruiting, staffing, and retention. Building and developing your management team — and future company leaders. Labor and food cost control. Food quality, cleanliness, and guest experience. Local marketing and community presence. You lead from the floor and own your numbers — and you're backed by a structured 6-week GM training program and real operations support, not a quarterly check-in call.

We're independent and founder-led, which means fast decisions and GMs who get heard. 50% of our current GMs and above were hired from within — if you want ownership now and a real shot at multi-unit leadership later, that path exists here.

Who We're Looking For

• 5+ years in restaurant management, 2+ as a GM in a high-volume, full-service restaurant

• Command of P&L, labor, and cost controls — you know your numbers cold

• A track record of building and retaining strong teams

• A hands-on leader with high standards and genuine hospitality instincts

If you've only ever managed shifts, this isn't the role. If you've run a restaurant like a business, it is.

Let's Talk

You don't have to be job-hunting to have this conversation — most great GMs aren't. We move fast: first conversation to offer typically takes 7 days, and we'll be straight with you about the numbers, the market, and the job from day one.
