Job Description

Lead. Inspire. Build Something That Matters.

At Mellow Mushroom, we’re not just serving pizza, we’re creating experiences, building teams, and developing future leaders.

We’re looking for a high-level General Manager who operates with awareness, professionalism, and an unmatched desire to win. This is not a “run the shift” role, this is a build a culture, grow a business, and develop people role.

If you take pride in your work, hold a high standard, and lead from the front, we want to talk to you.

What You’re Really Responsible For

First and foremost: the guest experience.
Everything starts and ends with creating an environment where every guest feels it. But beyond that, you are the leader of the entire operation.

You will:

• Set the tone for professionalism, energy, and accountability
• Build, coach, and develop a team people want to be part of
• Drive sales through execution, marketing, and presence
• Own the numbers: labor, food cost, and profitability
• Be hands-on—visible on the floor, supporting your team, leading by example

What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead and oversee all daily restaurant operations
• Deliver and uphold an exceptional guest experience every shift
• Hire, train, develop, and (when necessary) hold team members accountable
• Build a bench of future leaders
• Manage schedules, labor, and staffing for optimal performance
• Drive local store marketing and community engagement
• Maintain strong food quality, consistency, and standards
• Oversee inventory, ordering, and cost controls
• Resolve guest concerns with professionalism and urgency
• Implement strategies to improve sales, efficiency, and culture
• Own and manage systems, technology, and reporting
• Create a workplace people are proud to be part of

Who You Are

You don’t just manage, you lead .

• You bring energy, awareness, and presence every day
• You hold yourself and others to a high standard
• You communicate clearly, directly, and professionally
• You are calm under pressure and solution-focused
• You care about people—but also about performance
• You take ownership—no excuses, no passing blame
• You are driven to improve, grow, and be great at what you do

What You Bring

• 5+ years of restaurant leadership experience (GM or similar role preferred)
• Strong background in guest service and team development
• Solid understanding of restaurant financials (labor, food cost, P&L)
• Experience with hiring, training, and performance management
• Familiarity with restaurant systems and technology
• Ability to lead both hourly and salaried managers
• Strong organizational, communication, and time-management skills
• A passion for hospitality and building winning teams

What Success Looks Like

• Consistently strong guest satisfaction
• A stable, motivated, and growing team
• Hitting and exceeding financial targets
• A positive, professional, high-energy culture
• Developing people who go on to lead their own teams

Why This Role Matters

This is an opportunity to:

• Run a high-volume, high-impact restaurant
• Be part of a brand with personality and culture
• Grow into multi-unit leadership opportunities
• Make a real difference in people’s careers and lives

If you’re someone who shows up with purpose, works hard, and wants to be part of something bigger—we want to hear from you.
