Restaurant Manager — Shorty’s Pizza

Shorty’s Pizza | Winnipeg, Manitoba

We're a pizza spot built around great food, great people, and an atmosphere that you don't get everywhere. We're energetic, busy, a little unconventional, and deeply connected to the community around us.

We're looking for a Restaurant Manager who can help lead the entire operation and thrive in that environment.

This isn't a sit-behind-the-desk management job. We're looking for someone who is hands-on, confident, organized, and capable of leading both the front and back of house.

What You'll Be Responsible For

• Leading the FOH and BOH team during service
• Keeping the restaurant running smoothly during busy periods
• Managing staff performance, accountability, and day-to-day issues
• Handling customer questions, complaints, and concerns professionally
• Managing reservations, large parties, and special events
• Supporting the team during service rather than simply supervising from the sidelines
• Ensuring food quality, service standards, cleanliness, and restaurant presentation are consistently maintained
• Opening and/or closing responsibilities
• Helping with scheduling, staff communication, and operational organization
• Training and developing staff
• Making quick decisions when things don't go according to plan
• Creating a positive team environment while still holding people accountable

Who We're Looking For

You should have previous management or supervisory experience in a restaurant, either in FOH, BOH, or ideally both.

We're looking for someone who:

• Has experience leading a restaurant team
• Is comfortable managing both FOH and BOH operations
• Can stay calm and make decisions when the restaurant gets slammed
• Has strong communication and leadership skills
• Takes initiative instead of waiting to be told what to do
• Can have difficult conversations with employees when necessary
• Knows how to provide excellent customer service
• Is organized and dependable
• Understands that being a manager means being willing to jump in wherever you're needed
• Brings a positive attitude and contributes to the culture of the restaurant

The Shorty's Environment

Shorty's is not your typical restaurant.

We're a high-energy space with a strong identity, a loyal customer base, and a community that genuinely cares about what happens here. One night might be a packed dinner service, while another could involve a large private event or something completely different.

You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, but you do need to be comfortable leading a team, interacting with customers, solving problems, and keeping things moving when the pace picks up.

Schedule

Full-time — 5 days per week
Approximately 4:00 PM–11:00 PM

Weekend availability is required.

Experience Required

Minimum 2 years of restaurant management or supervisory experience preferred.

Candidates with strong FOH or BOH leadership experience who are ready to take the next step may also be considered.

Why Shorty's?

If you're looking for a predictable, corporate restaurant where every day looks the same, this probably isn't the job for you.

If you want to work somewhere with personality, energy, great food, a strong team, and a restaurant culture that's genuinely different, we'd love to hear from you.
