General Manager at Ballard Pizza Company

Are you ready to lead a team that serves up more than just pizza?

At Ballard Pizza Company, we’re on a mission to create mouthwatering pizza and unforgettable moments. We believe in serving high-quality pies, fostering a fun, lively atmosphere, and treating our team like family. If you’re a natural-born leader with a passion for pizza, people, and all things delicious, we want YOU to be our next General Manager!

As the General Manager, you’ll be the heart and soul of the restaurant. You’ll lead a fantastic team, keep things running smoothly, and make sure our guests have an experience they’ll remember. We’re looking for someone who can juggle the chaos of a busy restaurant with a smile on their face and a slice in their hand!

What You’ll Do:

1. Lead the Dream Team: Manage a crew of rockstar servers, cooks, and dishwashers, inspiring them to deliver awesome service and great pizza every single time. You’ll lead by example, making sure everyone is having fun while working hard.
2. Keep the Guests Coming Back for More: It’s all about the customer experience! You’ll ensure that every guest leaves happy, full, and excited to return. Whether it’s dealing with a tricky situation or celebrating a guest’s birthday, you’ll always be ready to make their visit unforgettable.
3. Run the Show: From opening to closing, you’ll be in charge of making sure everything runs like a well-oiled pizza machine. You’ll handle everything from inventory and ordering to scheduling and staff training — keeping the place organized, efficient, and fun!
4. Manage the Dough (and the Budget): You’ll be responsible for balancing the books — keeping an eye on food costs, labor, and overall profits. We want to make sure we’re serving up great pizza while also making a little dough for the business.
5. Make the Pizza, Make the Magic: We’re looking for someone who can think creatively about how to grow the business. Whether it’s planning a killer local event, collaborating on social media campaigns, or coming up with new ways to keep our guests coming back for more, your ideas will be the secret ingredient to our success.
6. Stay on Top of Health and Safety: You’ll make sure that we’re always compliant with health codes and safety regulations, keeping our staff and customers safe while enjoying their pizza experience.

What We’re Looking For:

• 3+ years of experience in restaurant management (pizza knowledge is a BIG plus!)
• A passion for great food, great people, and creating unforgettable experiences.
• Leadership skills that inspire and motivate the team to be their best every day.
• A love for customer service and making people smile.
• A problem-solver who can stay cool under pressure and handle a fast-paced environment with ease.
• A good head for numbers (budgeting, labor costs, profit margins — you know the drill).
• A positive, can-do attitude and a sense of humor — because we’re all about having fun here!

What’s In It for You:

• Competitive Salary + Performance Bonuses — We reward great work with great pay.
• Benefits Package — Health, dental, vision, and more to keep you feeling as good as our pizza tastes.
• Employee Discounts — Pizza, pasta, and all your favorites, at a special price just for you.
• A Fun, Fast-Paced Environment — Work hard, laugh harder.
