Join SSP America as our next Restaurant General Manager and guide a full-service w/bar concept in one of the most dynamic, fast-paced environments in the industry.
$75,000 - $80,000 + Potential Quarterly Bonus + Year-End Super Bonus
Full Benefits
Airport restaurants run differently — higher volume, tighter coordination, and a whole new level of operational challenge. As the General Manager, you run the show. You lead the full restaurant operation, collaborate with airport authorities, coach a diverse team, and make decisions that drive guest experience, financial results, and team culture.
This is a role for someone who wants to level up fast, take ownership, and grow in a nationwide organization.
What You’ll Lead
We’re food traveler experts serving travelers. With restaurants in over 60 airports, we bring local favorites to passengers across North America. If you thrive in action, teamwork, and moving fast — this is your place.
