General Manager - Restaurant

Job Overview

Luna is looking for a thoughtful, forward-thinking General Manager to lead our restaurants in Grand Rapids and Ada.

Luna operates as one restaurant group across two closely aligned locations, with shared standards, systems, training, menu, and culture. We have deliberately built technology and processes that allow our leaders to spend less time on administrative work and more time doing what matters: taking care of guests, developing people, and making good decisions.

We are looking for someone who sees the opportunity in that—and who is curious about how we can continue getting better.

This is first and foremost a hospitality and people leadership role. The right person is visible in the restaurants, reads the room, notices details, develops strong employees and managers, stays steady when things get complicated, and takes ownership when something needs attention.

They are comfortable making decisions, but equally comfortable asking good questions.

What matters most

• Hospitality & Guest Experience — 25%

You genuinely enjoy hospitality. You understand service, pacing, guest recovery, and the thousand small details that make a restaurant feel thoughtful, warm, and well run.

• People Leadership — 25%

You coach, teach, listen, set clear expectations, and help people grow. You understand that strong restaurants are built by strong teams—and that good leaders develop other good leaders.

• Systems & Technology — 15%

You don't need to be a technologist. You do need to be curious. You are comfortable learning new tools, questioning inefficient processes, and using technology thoughtfully to make work simpler and hospitality better.

• Business Acumen — 15%

You understand labor, inventory, cost controls, sales, and restaurant financials. You are comfortable with data, but understand that numbers are there to help us ask better questions and make better decisions.

• Judgment & Communication — 10%

You communicate clearly, listen well, prioritize thoughtfully, and remain composed when several things need attention at once. You know when to act, when to ask, and when ownership actually needs to be involved.

• Food, Beverage & Curiosity — 10%

You are interested in food, beverage, and hospitality and enjoy learning enough to teach others. Experience with tequila, mezcal, cocktails, or a serious beverage program is a plus. Intellectual curiosity matters more to us than already knowing everything.

Prior General Manager experience is helpful, but it is not required. An exceptional AGM, Restaurant Manager, Beverage Manager, Service Manager, or hotel F&B leader who is ready for broader responsibility may be exactly who we are looking for.

What matters is whether you can earn trust, develop people, protect the guest experience, understand the business, embrace better ways of working, and lead with both confidence and humility.
