ManagementFull-time
Ayvaz Pizza LLC is looking for a Restaurant General Manager who leads from the floor, not from behind a desk. This is a hands-on, player-coach role for high-volume, fast-casual operations—someone physically present on the line, register, and floor during every rush, setting the pace by working alongside the team.

Leadership Style We're Looking For
- Hands-on operator who works a station (make line, oven, register, or drive-thru) during every peak period, every day
- Sets the pace of the shift by physically leading it, not directing from a distance
- First to jump in when the rush hits and last to leave when short-staffed
- Reads the floor in real time and makes fast, decisive calls under pressure
- Builds culture through visible, in-the-trenches presence, not memos or scheduled check-ins
- Treats admin, scheduling, and reporting as tasks done around the shift—not a substitute for floor time
Think owner-style GM energy: relentless floor presence, high tempo, and a personal hand in every rush—applied to the Pizza Hut brand and systems.
Responsibilities
Floor Leadership & Restaurant Operations
- Personally work shifts alongside the team, including make line, register, and drive-thru during rushes—this is a daily expectation, not an exception
- Lead all aspects of restaurant operations, ensuring excellence in food quality, customer service, cleanliness, and brand standards
- Execute all company policies, procedures, systems, and operational initiatives
- Maintain food safety and sanitation standards with zero compromises
- Monitor and personally drive speed-of-service and customer satisfaction in real time, on the floor, shift by shift
- Manage inventory, ordering, cash handling, and restaurant security procedures
Team Leadership & Development
- Recruit, hire, train, coach, and develop restaurant team members and shift leaders—primarily through hands-on, side-by-side coaching during live shifts
- Build schedules that balance guest demand with labor goals
- Conduct performance evaluations, coaching sessions, and corrective actions
- Develop future leaders through mentoring, modeling behavior on the floor, and succession planning
Financial Management
- Review and analyze Profit & Loss (P&L) statements regularly
- Manage labor costs, food costs, and controllable expenses
- Drive sales growth through operational excellence, speed, and guest satisfaction earned shift by shift
Requirements
- High-energy, hands-on leader who would rather be on the line than in the office
- Thrives in fast-paced, high-volume, and occasionally chaotic environments—brings order by working through it, not managing from afar
- People-first leader who develops teams by working beside them
- Highly accountable and willing to own results, including uncomfortable ones
- Data-driven and comfortable managing operational and financial metrics without letting numbers pull you off the floor
- Coachable, resilient, and energized by pace and change rather than drained by it
Qualifications
- High School Diploma or GED required; college degree preferred but not required for the right operator
- Proven hands-on restaurant management experience required—high-volume, fast-paced concepts strongly preferred (QSR, diner-style, breakfast/all-day-service, or comparable high-tempo formats)
- Demonstrated track record of personally running shifts and working stations, not solely supervising from the office
- Experience managing labor, food cost, inventory, and operational metrics
Performance Metrics
- Speed of Service (IST/OTD)
- WIN Score
- Customer Satisfaction (SMG)
- Food Cost (COS)
