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
