Director of Operations - Multi-Concept Hospitality Group

Washington, DC

Up to $140,000 Base + Bonus & Benefits

This is a great opportunity to join a growing hospitality group with a mix of casual and elevated casual concepts. With ~7 units and expansion on the horizon, they’re looking for a hands-on Director of Operations to get into the venues, tighten operations, and help elevate performance across the board.

This is not a Monday–Friday, desk-based role - you’ll be in the restaurants, working side-by-side with teams, identifying gaps, and driving real change.

What You’ll Be Doing

Being on-site regularly, coaching teams and improving execution in real time
Strengthening SOPs, systems, and operational consistency
Leading and developing General Managers and leadership teams
Driving P&L performance, labor control, and cost efficiencies
Identifying gaps and implementing practical, on-the-ground solutions
Supporting new openings and growth initiatives
Partnering with ownership on vision, strategy, and scaling the business

What We’re Looking For

Proven experience in a multi-unit leadership role (Director, Area Manager, or strong multi-unit GM)
Background in full-service casual restaurants
Very hands-on operator - comfortable being in venues, not behind a desk
Strong track record of improving operations and building systems
Experience with growth environments
Solid financial acumen across P&L, labor, and cost control
Strong people leader who can coach, develop, and hold teams accountable

Confidential search. Applicants must have full legal authorization to work in the U.S.
