Job Description 

Pacific Coast Hospitality is looking for a Restaurant General Manager candidate to lead this locally owned and run, mom and pop restaurant, known for great burgers, vintage sodas, and retro vibe. Opened in 2008, according to the Seattle Weekly, they’ve been “making burgers better than anyone else around”.

Can you say fresh? Every morning, a top notch burger technician readies the grinder and sharpens up the 14″ blade. The big piece of chuck is trimmed and sent through the grinder. No extra fat or nasty stuff is added to their ground beef, unlike other burger joints that use pre-made patties or pre-ground beef. Our client has secured its fiercely loyal following simply by making burgers better than everyone else around!

We’re looking for an independent thinker, someone who is looking for the opportunity to help a small, locally owned and operated independent business grow. Someone who is personable and a bit on the fringe, that understands the dynamics of working with and supervising a small staff in a small operation.

Requirements Ideal candidate will have the following:

  • 5 years of restaurant leadership experience (supervisor, manager, AGM, GM).
  • Experienced in supervising and managing a small crew in small quarters.
  • Ideal candidate is both able and willing to do the FOH duties as well as the BOH.
  • A proven track record in building sales and guest counts. Can speak to specific programs or methodology successfully used in your experience.
  • Successful cost controls associated with running a profitable program. Understands how to manage labor costs through effective scheduling and business level staffing.
  • Has a passion for food and guest service.  Has hospitality from the heart mindset.

Salary Range & Benefits

  • $40,000 – $47,000/yr. based on experience
  • Obtainable performance based bonus plan
  • Balanced work and life schedule
  • Annual performance / salary review
  • PTO benefits

What's On Tap?

by

Craft beer continues to be one of the hottest trends of 2016 within the restaurant industry. This has restaurant owners flocking to microbreweries local and global to take advantage of what’s offered. Once thought of as a man’s drink, women have taken a stake in the beer industry ensuring their popularity and preferred beers are made available too.

Millennials are keeping the craft beer industry in the rise, with a strong demand for authenticity, taste and a good story behind the origination of what they’re drinking when dining out.  It’s no secret, millennials loyally support businesses that make a difference.  Millennials like to feel unique, and drinking locally made, regional craft beer does just that.  Once they’ve found their favorite beers, they will return time and time again to drink it. When it’s on your restaurant’s menu, that means they’re ordering your food, because beer drinkers are often hungry too… can you hear the tab adding up yet??

Studies show that craft beer drinkers spend more money than traditional beer drinkers.  GuestMetrics shows, the average guest check that includes food and a craft beer drinker’s food and beverage check rings in at $86.00.
With the loyalty and increase in sales craft beer drinkers bring, what can you do to gain the advantages too?
Step up your drink menu! Offer small-batch beers from local brewers within your community and around the world.
Match your beer selection to the season… can we say pumpkin ale?
With your seasonal selection, offer some pairing on the menu matching what drinks best with what fare.
Bottom line: craft beer drinkers spend more money and are often more loyal customers. So, what are you waiting for?
Along with the rising trend of craft beer, PCH is part of the movement offering exciting careers with some of the west coast’s hottest crafts breweries.

4 Ways to Improve Your Hospitality Hiring Process

by

Hiring the right people and limiting employee turnover are two of the biggest challenges every hospitality manager faces. Bad hiring decisions can affect customer satisfaction, team morale, & increase turnover. Fortunately, making good hiring decisions will have the opposite effect. Use these 4 tips to be sure that you’re investing your time training people who plan to stick around and will be a positive addition to your team.

 

Cast a Wide Net: What’s the first step to be sure you attract the best candidates? Be sure they know about the opening. Don’t just post a position to your website & hope for the best. You want to get your job listing in front of as many job seekers as possible. Tell current employees, put notices where your target employees would see them, add the listing to online career boards in your area, and post on job boards specific to your industry like Hcareers.com. The more applications and resumes you receive, the better your chances of finding a stand out candidate.

 

 

Interview Each Candidate Consistently: Every candidate brings something different to the table. There are those with stellar resumes but a more reserved personality, and those who will walk into an interview & win you over with their confident demeanor before you even glance at their experience. It’s important to know exactly what qualifications are needed to effectively fill your opening & then interview each candidate consistently to find the best fit. Don’t let a big personality win you over without asking them the same questions as everyone else to be sure the skills are there as well.

 

Consider Your Current Staff: A team that works well together is the key to a successful business. You need to hire a team player who fits in with the way your current staff works. Be sure to ask questions in the interview about the candidate’s past team performance and be on the lookout for too many answers that begin with “I” rather than “we”.

 

 

Emphasize Long-Term Benefits: This is the best way to find employees who will stick around. Interviewing and training new employees takes time and costs your business money, so you want to be sure you’re investing in people who are in it for the long haul. But potential employees want to know what’s in it for them too. You should discuss benefits such as vacation time & health insurance. Great employees are also looking at long term goals, so consider implementing mentoring and professional education opportunities as well.
