Restaurant Manager – One Door North (Culture-Driven Leader Wanted)

North Park, San Diego Full-Time | $65,000–$75,000 DOE + Performance Bonuses

About Us

At One Door North, we’re not your average restaurant, we’re a love letter to the outdoors with a lively glamping-inspired space, craft cocktails, and locally-sourced, chef-driven food. Think warm lighting, tents, wood, greenery, and a social vibe where guests come to relax, celebrate, and connect.

We’re looking for a Restaurant Manager who doesn’t just manage shifts, they create energy. Someone who can take this amazing restaurant to the next level through hospitality, teamwork, and detail-driven execution. This is for the leader who thrives on progress, culture, and big ideas, and wants to grow with independent owners who value creativity and hustle.

What You’ll Do

Lead daily service with confidence, energy, and style.

Inspire and hold your team accountable for excellence, consistency, and hospitality.

Curate an atmosphere guests feel — fun, social, and high-touch.

Collaborate with ownership on brunch launch, special events, and late-night concepts.

Recruit and train team members who share your drive, pride, and vibe.

Oversee scheduling, inventory, vendors, and service flow — with precision and organization.

Book and organize group bookings and private events.

Keep standards sharp: from uniforms and playlists to service timing and tone.

Who You Are

A natural leader with strong charisma, accountability, and taste.

Obsessed with guest experience — you know what makes people stay longer, smile wider, and post about it later.

Highly organized, punctual, and unafraid of hard work.

Comfortable using tech (Toast, OpenTable, Excel, Google Drive) and data to improve performance.

Excited by growth and creativity — you see challenges as opportunities to innovate.

Bonus points if you have a background in cocktail culture, events, or lifestyle hospitality.

Perks & Pay

$65,000–$75,000 base salary (depending on experience)

Quarterly performance bonuses for excellence in service, sales growth, and leadership

Dining perks and creative collaboration with ownership

A clear path to General Manager within 12–18 months.

Work for an independent, hands-on ownership team that invests in its people and loves new ideas

Why This Role Rocks

This is more than a management job — it’s a chance to shape the next chapter of One Door North. We’re looking for someone who takes pride in leading from the floor, inspiring their team, and crafting experiences guests talk about long after they leave. It’s a chance to make your mark — to bring your creativity, high standards, and vision into a brand that’s ready for its next chapter. You’ll be trusted, respected, and given the freedom to make things happen, especially if you understand numbers.

If you’re the kind of person who loves hospitality, thrives on progress, and wants to be a part of the growth of San Diego’s most unique restaurants, we want to meet you.
