Earn $75,000-$90,000 annually leading operations for an established upscale casual restaurant in Philadelphia's historic Old City neighborhood.

This is a hands-on Restaurant General Manager opportunity overseeing a team of approximately 15-20 employees in a busy lunch-and-dinner operation known for hospitality, consistency, and guest experience.

You'll join a growing hospitality group that values operational leadership, team development, and long-term career growth. Rather than stepping into a turnaround situation, you'll inherit an established restaurant with a loyal guest following and the opportunity to strengthen culture, improve systems, and help drive continued success.

This is not a late-night bar environment. The role offers a more balanced operating schedule than many restaurant management positions, while still providing the pace, leadership responsibilities, and growth opportunities that experienced operators seek.
