Who We Are

Good Pizza opened in January 2025 with a simple mission: prove that pizza by the slice doesn't have to mean cutting corners. We make everything from scratch - fresh dough, house-blended cheese, handmade sauces, dressings, etc. - and we're obsessed with perfecting every detail.

We're building a brand that stands for craft, ownership, and hospitality - with our sights set on becoming one of Cleveland's best restaurants. And we're just getting started - growth is part of the plan, with multiple locations on the horizon.

The Role

We're looking for a Front of House Manager who understands that great hospitality is both an art and a system. Someone who can work the register during the lunch rush and then step back to think strategically about labor costs, team culture, and guest experience.

You'll spend about 60-80% of your time working stations - register, expo, counter service - leading by example during service. The other 20-40% is management work: scheduling, payroll, training, hiring, and partnering with our Sous Chef to run a tight operation.

Here's what that looks like

Guest Experience & Service:

• Set the standard for hospitality at Good Pizza
• Train and develop FOH staff to deliver exceptional service
• Handle guest feedback and turn problems into fans
• Maintain our dining room like it's your own living room

Labor & Operations:

• Manage total restaurant labor to our 38% target (you own this metric for FOH + BOH)
• Create FOH schedules and work with our Sous Chef to optimize overall staffing
• Process payroll for the entire team
• Handle HR - performance issues, conflicts, keeping the team strong

Team Building:

• Lead FOH hiring from start to finish
• Partner with our Sous Chef on kitchen hiring
• Build a culture where people actually want to show up
• Develop your team - we promote from within whenever we can

Who Thrives Here

You're the right fit if:

• You're passionate about hospitality and believe details matter
• You're self-motivated and goal-oriented - you don't need someone looking over your shoulder
• You're kind, caring, and genuinely want your team to succeed
• You can work the rush and then sit down to analyze labor reports without missing a beat
• You see problems as opportunities to build better systems
• You want to be part of building something, not just managing what exists

You're not the right fit if:

• You think "manager" means delegating everything and staying in the office
• You're looking for a 9-5 with minimal weekend work
• You're satisfied with "good enough" instead of pushing for excellent

What We're Looking For

Required:

• 2+ years restaurant leadership experience (FOH focused)
• Experience with scheduling, payroll, and labor cost management
• Track record of hiring, training, and developing teams
• Full availability (including weekends and evenings)
• Ability to work 45-50 hours per week, mostly on your feet

Nice to Have:

• Experience partnering closely with kitchen leadership
• Both quick service and full-service restaurant experience
• Multi-unit restaurant experience

What We Offer

Compensation & Growth:

• Base salary: $46,000-$52,000 (based on experience), PLUS:
• Performance bonuses tied to labor %, revenue, guest satisfaction, and team retention (up to $10,000 annually)
• Profit sharing opportunities as we grow
• Real growth path: as we expand to multiple locations, strong performers move into GM or multi-unit roles

Benefits & Perks:

• 2 weeks PTO to start (increases with tenure)
• Free meals during shifts
• Flexible scheduling (once you've proven yourself and built the systems)
• Professional development opportunities (conferences, training, learning budget)
• Quarterly performance bonuses

Culture:

• Small, tight team where your impact is immediate and visible
• Ownership mentality - we want your ideas and initiative
• Direct line to ownership (no bureaucracy)
• Be part of something from the early stages
