    General Manager – High-Volume Italian Pizzeria (Whitestone, Queens NYC) RUN IT LIKE YOU OWN IT! About the Role We are not looking for a typical manager. We are hiring a true operator to take full control of a busy, high-volume Italian pizzeria and restaurant in Whitestone, Queens. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who understands that performance, accountability, and results come first. You will be responsible for everything inside the four walls — people, numbers, systems, and execution. If you are the type who treats a business like your own, thrives under pressure, and knows how to drive both profit and performance, we want to talk. What You Own Full responsibility for daily operations (dine-in, takeout, delivery) Hiring, firing, training, and building a strong team Scheduling and labor control to hit target percentages Food cost and inventory control — no waste, no excuses Ordering and vendor management Cash handling, reporting, and accountability Customer experience — every shift, every guest Cleanliness, organization, and health department readiness at all times What Winning Looks Like Labor and food costs are on target or better The restaurant runs smooth even when you’re not present Staff are trained, accountable, and performing Sales are growing through execution and consistency Problems are handled before they become issues The store is always clean, organized, and inspection-ready Who You Are You’ve run a high-volume restaurant or pizzeria before You don’t make excuses — you solve problems You are hands-on — not afraid to jump on the line, phones, or expo You understand numbers (labor %, food cost %, prime cost) You can control a team and command respect without chaos You move fast, think clearly, and execute under pressure You treat the business like it’s your own money on the line Non-Negotiables Strong experience in restaurant management (NYC experience preferred) Availability for nights, weekends, and peak hours Ability to lead from the front, not from the office Zero tolerance for poor standards, waste, or disorganization Compensation Competitive base salary Performance-based bonus tied to profitability and cost control Growth opportunity for the right operator Why This Role is Different This is not a clock-in, clock-out job. This is an opportunity to take over a strong location and run it like a business, not just manage shifts. If you’re looking for easy, this is not it. If you’re looking to build something, take ownership, and make real impact, this is for you. To Apply Send your resume and a short message explaining: The volume you’ve managed Your experience with labor & food cost control Why you’re the person who can run this place
