Up to $200,000 Base + Equity
Relocation Assistance Available (US Based Candidates)

We're partnered with an ambitious, privately owned hospitality group searching for a Chief Operating Officer to help lead the next phase of the company's growth.

With five successful restaurant concepts, a strong corporate infrastructure, the business has built an exceptional foundation.

Now they're looking for a commercially driven executive who can help scale the organization while preserving the culture and operational excellence that has made the company successful.

This is not a turnaround role.

The systems, SOPs, training programs, and operations are already well established.

What they're looking for is a strategic operator with strong financial acumen who can help accelerate growth, improve enterprise performance, support capital planning, and work closely with ownership and investors to take the business to the next level.

What You'll Be Doing

• Partnering with ownership to execute the company's long-term growth strategy
• Leading the corporate leadership team across operations, finance, marketing, IT, accounting, and support functions
• Driving financial performance, profitability, and operational efficiency across multiple restaurant concepts
• Supporting expansion into new markets and overseeing new restaurant growth
• Working closely with private investors and ownership on strategic planning and business performance
• Developing scalable systems and processes to support continued expansion
• Identifying opportunities to improve profitability, cash flow, and overall business performance
• Evaluating growth opportunities while maintaining disciplined financial decision-making
• Ensuring every concept continues to deliver exceptional guest experiences and operational excellence

What We're Looking For

• Previous COO, SVP, or equivalent executive leadership experience
• Experience leading hospitality businesses with $100M+ in annual revenue
• Strong financial and commercial acumen with the ability to drive business growth
• Proven success scaling multi-unit restaurant or hospitality organizations
• Experience working with ownership groups, private investors, or private equity-backed businesses is highly valued
• Strategic thinker who can balance big-picture planning with operational execution
• Growth-minded executive who enjoys building teams and developing future leaders
• Multi-concept restaurant experience
