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.

Why Join Ayvaz Pizza LLC?

  • Competitive salary and bonus opportunities
  • Leadership coaching and development
  • Career advancement opportunities
  • Recognition for outstanding performance
  • Medical, dental, and vision benefits (based on eligibility)

Perks & Benefits

  • Discount program with savings on glasses, hearing aids, weight loss programs, step tracking devices, shoes, and more
  • Provider finder/cost estimation tool to locate in-network providers and estimate costs before visits
  • Wellness program—earn points for activities like achieving step goals, redeemable for wellness-related items
  • Pregnancy planning tool to track fertility, baby growth, and milestones
  • GED credentials at no cost
  • Tuition Assistance—empowerment and confidence-building for your future

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)
  • Labor Cost (COL)
  • HutBot Compliance

This position requires authorization to work in the United States. The Company reserves the right to conduct a background check, and employment may be conditioned on satisfactory results.
