    Restaurant Manager

    Moliar Hospitality Group (MHG) Hourly | Full-Time | Leadership Role

    Role Summary

    The Hourly Restaurant Manager is responsible for running the restaurant during assigned shifts and ensuring MHG standards are executed at all times. This role is hands-on, floor-driven, and results-focused. When you are on duty, you own the building—people, product, guests, and problems.

    This is not a supervisory title for senior servers. This is an operating leader role with real accountability.

    Support events, promotions, and special programs as scheduled

    Experience & Qualifications

    2–4+ years restaurant experience (management or lead role preferred)

    Strong service standards and floor presence

    Ability to lead under pressure and stay calm during volume
