General Manager - High-Volume Restaurant

Moliar Hospitality
Virginia Beach, VA
Calypso Bar & Grill | Virginia Beach Oceanfront

Calypso Bar & Grill is hiring an experienced General Manager to lead a high-volume, oceanfront restaurant in a fast-paced, seasonal market . This role is ideal for a proven restaurant operator who thrives under pressure, leads from the floor, and understands how to drive results during peak tourist seasons.

Seasonal Intensity Callout (Read Before Applying)

This is a high-volume, seasonal environment with significant business spikes during spring and summer, holidays, and event weekends. The General Manager is expected to:

  • Work extended hours during peak season
  • Lead from the floor during high-volume shifts
  • Manage large teams and fast operational pivots
  • Maintain service standards under pressure

If you prefer a slower-paced or strictly 9–5 environment, this role will not be the right fit.

Key Responsibilities

  • Oversee daily restaurant operations with a strong on-floor leadership presence
  • Manage P&L performance, including labor control, food cost, beverage cost, and profitability
  • Hire, train, coach, and develop managers and hourly staff
  • Create and manage schedules aligned with sales forecasts
  • Oversee inventory, ordering, vendor relations, and cost controls
  • Ensure compliance with Virginia ABC, health department, and safety regulations
  • Resolve guest issues quickly and professionally
  • Execute private events, large parties, and contracted functions
  • Maintain brand standards, cleanliness, and operational consistency

Qualifications & Experience

  • 5+ years restaurant management experience, including GM or Senior Manager level
  • High-volume restaurant experience required (seasonal, tourist, or oceanfront preferred)
  • Strong understanding of P&L management, labor optimization, and COGS
  • Proven ability to lead large teams in fast-paced environments
  • Working knowledge of POS systems, scheduling software, and inventory systems
  • Knowledge of Virginia ABC laws strongly preferred
  • Flexible availability including nights, weekends, holidays, and peak seasons

Compensation & Perks

  • Competitive salary based on experience
  • Dining discounts across Moliar Hospitality Group venues
  • Advancement opportunities within a growing hospitality group
