What You’ll Do:
The Regional Manager holds direct responsibility for the operational execution, financial performance, and leadership effectiveness of assigned Benihana restaurants. This role is measured by the ability to drive revenue growth, enforce cost discipline, elevate operational standards, and build high-performing management teams that consistently deliver exceptional guest experiences.
Serving as a senior operational authority for the region, the Regional Manager ensures that each property operates with rigor, urgency, and full alignment to brand standards and company objectives. This leader acts as the critical link between restaurant operations and corporate leadership, translating strategy into disciplined, field-level execution.
Performance ownership is defined across four non-negotiable pillars:
Revenue Growth & Sales Optimization
Cost Control & Profitability Protection
Guest Experience & Operational Standards
Culture, Talent, and Leadership Accountability
The Regional Manager is expected to proactively identify performance gaps, operational risks, and leadership deficiencies, and to implement corrective actions with speed and precision. This role is not observational - it is decisional, directive, and results-driven.
A core expectation of the position is the development, coaching, and performance management of General Managers and management teams. The Regional Manager must build strong operational leaders, reinforce accountability, and ensure that each restaurant maintains consistent execution, financial discipline, and cultural alignment.
Although reporting, analysis, and business reviews require structured administrative time, this is fundamentally a field-intensive leadership role. Most of the time spent in the restaurants — validating standards, observing service, driving operational improvements, and directly influencing performance.
This role requires frequent travel across assigned properties and, when necessary, additional markets to stabilize operations, support new openings, or address performance challenges. Flexibility, responsiveness, and a hands-on leadership presence are essential.
Leadership & Team Development
Inspire, develop, and empower General Managers and restaurant teams to deliver the Benihana experience with consistency and pride
Build strong leadership benches by coaching, mentoring, and elevating future talent across the region
Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and performance excellence
Champion an environment where team engagement, retention, and development are constant priorities
Business & Performance Leadership
Drive sustainable sales growth by strengthening operational execution and guest-centric strategies
Partner with restaurant leadership to identify opportunities, solve challenges, and unlock performance potential
Protect profitability through disciplined labor management, cost awareness, and smart decision-making
Use data, field observations, and business insight to guide actions and priorities
Operational & Guest Experience Excellence
Safeguard the integrity of the Benihana brand, ensuring every restaurant consistently delivers exceptional food, service, and atmosphere
Maintain a visible, hands-on presence in restaurants, reinforcing standards and supporting leaders during key service periods
Identify operational opportunities and implement improvements that elevate both guest satisfaction and financial performance
Serve as a cultural and operational role model across the region
What We’re Looking For
An experienced multi-unit leader with a genuine passion for hospitality and people development
Proven success leading high-volume, full-service restaurants with strong financial and operational results
A leader who thrives in dynamic, high-energy environments and inspires teams to perform at their best
Strong business acumen with the ability to translate metrics into meaningful action
A relationship-driven operator who builds trust, credibility, and alignment with restaurant teams
Comfortable with restaurant systems, reporting tools, and operational technology
Willingness to travel regularly and maintain a strong field presence
