More Info

Explore open leadership roles with brands that are reshaping the restaurant landscape. Below you’ll find our current retained searches—roles we’re filling on an exclusive basis for multi‑unit operators ranging from fast‑casual innovators to family‑dining icons. Each opportunity is real, budget‑approved, and led by a hiring team committed to decisive, confidential moves.

How we curate this list

We post only roles that have cleared two checkpoints: (1) Culture & Growth Fit—the brand’s expansion plans align with candidate career trajectories; (2) Competitive Compensation—packages benchmarked against our proprietary database of 7,000 restaurant leaders in every segment and region. If a role doesn’t meet those bars, it never appears here.

Your privacy, our priority

When you apply, your résumé goes directly to the lead recruiter managing that search—never into a generic database. We contact references only after we’ve had a detailed conversation with you and secured your permission. If timing or location isn’t right today, you can still join our confidential talent network and be first in line for future roles.

What to expect after you click “Learn More”

2. 30‑minute screen call within five business days if your background aligns.

3. Two‑way transparency: you’ll receive feedback at every stage—no black holes.
