Falafel Inc is hiring experienced General Managers to lead our restaurants.

We are looking for operators who take ownership.

As General Manager, you are responsible for the entire restaurant — the people, the food, the guest experience, the numbers, and the standards.

When the restaurant wins, you know why.

When something isn’t working, you don’t wait for someone else to fix it.

You own it.

You love restaurant operations.

You know how to lead from the floor, not from the office.

You can build a schedule, manage labor, control food cost, develop employees, handle a busy rush, and still make sure every guest receives a great experience.

You set the standard for your team.

You don’t walk past problems.

You coach people when they need coaching, recognize great performance, and hold people accountable when expectations aren’t being met.

Most importantly, you treat the restaurant like it’s your own business.

What You Will Own

Inventory & Food Cost

Own ordering, inventory, waste, portion control, and food-cost performance.

Restaurant Standards

Keep your restaurant clean, organized, stocked, and ready for business at all times.

Accountability

Set clear expectations for your team and follow through.

Problems don’t disappear because they’re ignored.

Do Not Apply If

You want to manage from the office.

You need someone to remind you about basic restaurant standards.

You avoid accountability or difficult conversations.

You believe staffing, cleanliness, food quality, or customer service are someone else’s responsibility.

You are looking for a title instead of responsibility.

At Falafel Inc, the General Manager is the owner of the restaurant’s performance.

Success Looks Like

Your restaurant is clean and ready every day.

Your team knows what is expected.

Your strongest employees are constantly developing.

Guests receive consistent food and service.

Schedules make sense for the business.

Labor and food costs are controlled.

Inventory and waste are managed.

Problems are solved quickly.

Sales grow.

And your restaurant performs whether senior leadership is standing inside it or not.

This isn’t just about running shifts.

It’s about building a team, owning a business, and producing results.
