Restaurant Manager (m/f/d)

Your Mission and Benefits

You are the face of IZA: To our guests, you are the host, the point of contact, and the face of the restaurant. You ensure that every guest feels welcome from the very first moment and experiences IZA exactly as we envision it.

You are our right-hand person on site: You oversee the entire operation, make decisions, and ensure that the kitchen and service teams work together as one.

You lead your team: You coordinate your team, set the direction, pitch in when necessary, and ensure that everyone knows what to do.

You manage the dining room: You keep an eye on seating and capacity and ensure the right balance between quick table turnover and a pleasant atmosphere.

You have a strong point person by your side: Your direct point person is our Head of Restaurant. Together with management, they set the framework, standards, and goals for our restaurants. Within this framework, you’ll have the freedom you need to manage your location independently, make decisions, and lead your team to success.

You’re responsible for the guest experience: From the moment guests enter the restaurant through ordering to payment, you oversee their entire visit. You’re on hand to answer questions and resolve issues.

You’ve got operations under control: Cleanliness, speed, and quality—you ensure that our standards are maintained throughout your entire shift.

You’ll be part of the IZA team from the very beginning: We’re building something new right now. As one of our first restaurant managers, you’ll help shape not only your location but also the future development of IZA. Your experiences and ideas will be directly incorporated into our processes and standards. As we grow, so do your opportunities—including the chance to train future restaurant managers for our upcoming locations.

Your hard work should pay off: With us, you can expect performance-based compensation based on your experience, qualifications, and the responsibilities you take on at IZA.

And because the restaurant industry is demanding, your time off should be meaningful too: We typically close for the holidays between Christmas and shortly after New Year’s—and we’ll also give you the day off on your birthday.

What you bring to the table

Leadership experience in gastronomy: You have already led a team in service or gastronomy and know how to keep an overview during a shift.

Hands-on mentality: You pitch in, think along, and have no problem stepping in where help is needed - whether at the bar, seating, or in the kitchen.

Clean & reliable: You work precisely, follow clear processes, and ensure that quality and cleanliness are maintained - as a trusted person, you also need a keen eye on open bottles and the cash register.

Team spirit: You are reliable, respectful, and eager to be part of a young IZA Gang that grows together.

Communication skills: You can clearly assign tasks to your team and are a friendly, competent contact person for our guests.
