The Opportunity

Bosphorous Turkish Cuisine is seeking an experienced, hospitality-driven Restaurant Manager to join our leadership team.

We also believe exceptional performance should be exceptionally rewarded. Bosphorous offers extremely competitive compensation, performance-based incentives, and a genuine commitment to work-life balance.

We are looking for restaurant professionals who want to be held to a high standard—and want to work for a company that recognizes and rewards them for meeting it.

What You'll Do

Lead & Develop Your Team

• Lead from the floor and set the standard for professionalism, hospitality, teamwork, urgency, and accountability.
• Build a positive, disciplined, and high-performing restaurant culture.
• Coach, develop, recognize, and hold team members accountable.
• Recruit, train, schedule, and retain a strong Front of House and Heart of House team.
• Identify and develop future leaders within the organization.
• Communicate expectations and priorities clearly and consistently.

Deliver Exceptional Hospitality

• Create an environment where every guest feels genuinely welcomed and cared for.
• Maintain an active presence in the dining room and build relationships with our guests.
• Model personalized hospitality and look for opportunities to exceed guest expectations.
• Resolve guest concerns quickly, professionally, and with genuine care.
• Ensure food, beverages, service, cleanliness, and restaurant appearance consistently meet Bosphorous standards.

Operate a Great Restaurant

• Ensure the restaurant is fully prepared for every shift.
• Maintain exceptional standards for food safety, sanitation, cleanliness, and facility maintenance.
• Execute company operating systems and standards consistently.
