Overview
General Manager | Max Lager's Wood-Fired Grill & Brewery
Compensation: $90,000 - $115,000/year
Max Lager’s is seeking a proven hospitality leader to serve as General Manager of Georgia’s longest standing brewpub. Located in the heart of Downtown Atlanta, Max Lager’s has been a cornerstone of the city’s dining and craft beer scene for more than 28 years.
We are not simply looking for a floor manager. We are seeking a business operator, culture builder, and revenue driver who understands high-volume restaurants, craft beer programs, and large-scale event execution.
Who We Are
Max Lager’s Wood-Fired Grill & Brewery is Georgia’s longest continuously operating brewpub. We combine a wood-fired grill kitchen, an in-house brewery, and dynamic private event spaces in one of Atlanta’s busiest convention corridors.
Our business is driven by:
- High-volume convention traffic
- Corporate private dining and large-scale events
- Game days and downtown activations
- A loyal local following built over nearly three decades
The Role
The General Manager is fully responsible for the financial performance, culture, and operational excellence of the restaurant.
This is a hands-on leadership role overseeing:
- Daily restaurant operations
- P&L management and prime cost discipline
- Large-scale private events and banquet execution
- Craft beer program knowledge and guest engagement
- Leadership development of managers and hourly teams
- Collaboration with our brewery team
You must be comfortable leading a restaurant that can shift from steady lunch service to full buyouts and 300+ guest events.
What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years experience as a GM in a high-volume, full-service restaurant
- Strong understanding of craft beer and brewery operations
- Proven P&L accountability
- Experience executing large-scale events and private dining
- Confidence leading during peak convention surges
- Strong floor presence and hospitality mindset
- Ability to coach and develop management teams
- Operational discipline without sacrificing culture
Beer knowledge is a plus. You do not need to be a brewer, but you must be comfortable speaking confidently about house-brewed beer, food pairings, and the brewpub model.
What Success Looks Like
- Strong and consistent prime costs
- High team retention and culture stability
- Seamless execution of large events
- Elevated guest experience
- Strategic growth in downtown market share
- Competitive salary based on experience
- Performance bonus structure
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- 401k
- Growth opportunities within Brewed To Serve Restaurant Group
If you are ready to lead a historic Atlanta institution into its next chapter — including major downtown growth and international event traffic — we would love to connect.
