Restaurant Manager

Looking for a Restaurant Manager to join our team in Ottawa.

About Crescent Industries

Crescent Industries is a Canadian recruitment agency placing candidates at multi-industry employers across the Ottawa region and beyond. Founded in 2011, the team works with employer clients of all sizes, from small independents to multi-site operators, to fill roles quickly with vetted candidates.

About the role

You'll run the day-to-day operations of the restaurant: building weekly schedules, managing food and labour costs, ordering from suppliers, and keeping the front and back of house working as one team. You'll hire, train, and coach staff, handle escalated guest complaints on the spot, and make sure every shift meets health, safety, and food-handling standards. You'll review sales and cost reports weekly and adjust staffing, menu pricing input, and ordering to protect margins.

What you'll bring

You've managed or supervised in a restaurant before and know what a smooth service feels like. You stay calm during a slammed Friday rush, give direct and fair feedback, and treat cost control as part of hospitality, not the enemy of it.

Crescent Industries manages this search. After applying, expect a brief phone screen with one of our recruiters before an interview with the client. We protect your information and only share it once you have consented.
