Run the Restaurant at a Wyoming Legend
At the Historic Virginian Hotel, we donโt do boring. Built in 1911, this Western landmark has hosted travelers, ranchers, railroaders, and road-trippers for over a century. Inside, youโll find The Pearl on the Plainsโour restaurant and saloon that serves as the social hub of town.
Weโre looking for a confident, hands-on Restaurant Manager to lead daily operations, drive team performance, and elevate the guest experience. This is not a clipboard-only role. This is leadership from the floor.
If youโre equal parts operator, motivator, and roll-up-your-sleeves problem solverโyouโll fit right in.

Restaurant Leadership โ Oversee daily front- and back-of-house operations, ensuring smooth service and strong communication between kitchen, bar, and dining room.

Service & Standards โ Maintain high food quality, service consistency, and presentation standards. Work alongside the kitchen team on specials and seasonal offerings.
Guest Experience โ Be visible and approachable on the floor. Handle guest feedback professionally and turn problems into loyalty.
Financial Oversight โ Manage labor, control costs, monitor inventory, and protect margins without sacrificing experience.
Inventory & Vendors โ Oversee ordering for food, beverage, and bar programs. Maintain vendor relationships and ensure accurate counts.
Events & Banquets โ Coordinate group dinners, local events, and private functions hosted at the hotel.
Hands-On Support โ When itโs busy, youโre in it. Running food, pouring drinks, solving problems. Leadership means showing up.

โ Strong leadership presence with the ability to coach and hold standards
โ Financial awareness โ you understand labor percentages and food cost
