General Manager, New Opening – Classic High-Energy Pub
Dorchester, MA
$100,000 to $110,000

This is a great opportunity to lead a brand-new opening in Dorchester - a classic pub-style concept with 200+ seats and serious volume potential. We’re looking for a strong, experienced General Manager who knows how to run a busy room, build a team from the ground up, and create an atmosphere guests want to come back to.

If you thrive in high-energy, high-volume environments and love the buzz of a packed pub, this one’s for you.

  • Leading the full opening process from hiring to launch and beyond
  • Managing all day-to-day operations across FOH and BOH
  • Building, training, and developing a large, high-performing team
  • Driving sales, guest experience, and repeat business
  • Owning labor, cost control, and overall financial performance
  • Creating a fun, welcoming environment while maintaining strong standards
  • Being a visible, hands-on leader on the floor - especially during peak service

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience as a General Manager in high-volume venues (200+ seats)
  • Background in pubs, bars, or high-energy casual dining concepts
  • Strong leadership skills with experience opening or stabilizing large operations
  • Solid understanding of P&L, labor management, and cost controls
  • Ideally new opening experience!
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment
