Office Manager + HR Lead - Encinitas

Office Manager & HR Lead

Our award client has been a community staple, serving award-winning food and creating memorable experiences. Now, we're looking for a driven, organized, and people-focused leader to help shape the next chapter of our story.

This isn't your typical office role. This is a hands-on opportunity at the center of a multi-unit, family-owned restaurant group—where your ideas matter, your impact is visible, and your growth potential is real.

The Role

As our Office Manager & HR Lead, you'll be the connective tissue between ownership, management teams, and daily operations. You'll help keep everything running smoothly—from people and processes to projects and performance.

You'll work side-by-side with leadership to elevate our restaurants, support our teams, and bring structure and innovation to everything we do.

What You'll Do

• Support sourcing, ordering, and vendor coordination
• Lead hiring and staffing efforts across locations
• Partner with restaurant managers to support daily operations
• Drive improvements in performance, guest experience, and team success
• Maintain and improve systems, processes, and operational workflows
• Assist with menu updates, POS systems, and internal tools
• Manage HR functions, including onboarding, documentation, and compliance
• Coordinate meetings, schedules, and communications
• Support inventory management and quality control initiatives
• Conduct employee reviews and performance evaluations

What You Bring

• Experience in the Food & Beverage industry
• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to adapt quickly
• Excellent communication—both written and verbal
• Proficiency in Microsoft 365, Google Suite, and general office tools
• Sharp attention to detail and strong follow-through
• Highly organized with the ability to juggle multiple priorities
• A proactive mindset—you don't just spot problems, you solve them
• Motivation driven by growth, results, and continuous improvement
• Ability to build, refine, and maintain systems and processes
• Natural leadership skills with a positive, team-first attitude
• Restaurant or kitchen management experience is a plus

Why This Role is Different

• Be a key player in a respected, multi-unit restaurant group
• Work directly with ownership and influence real change
• Help shape systems, culture, and operational excellence
• Join a company with a strong legacy—and room to grow

Who You Are

• You're not just organized—you're obsessed with making things better.
  You're not just a manager—you're a leader people trust.
  You're not just looking for a job—you're looking to build something meaningful.

If you're ready to bring energy, structure, and leadership to a growing restaurant group with deep roots and big potential—we'd love to meet you.
