Restaurant Management Recruiters
Full-service restaurants depend on managers who can run the floor, the kitchen and the numbers. A strong GM and chef team can turn a struggling unit around in a few months; a weak one can sink a good concept.
We recruit GMs, AGMs, executive chefs, kitchen managers, bar managers and multi-unit area managers for independent restaurants and restaurant groups.

How we recruit for full-service restaurant groups
We learn your concept, volume, check average and growth plans. Then we recruit employed managers from comparable concepts and screen for results and fit.
Multi-unit groups can work with one recruiter who learns their standards and keeps candidates ready for new openings.
