Century Hospitality Group | Edmonton, Alberta

OWNERSHIP THINKING. FANATICAL HOSPITALITY. UNCOMPROMISING STANDARDS.

Century Hospitality Group is looking for a dynamic, high-energy hospitality leader who is ready to take ownership of a business, build exceptional teams, drive performance, and create experiences guests remember.

This is not a position for someone who simply wants to manage a restaurant.

This is an opportunity to lead one.

At Century Hospitality Group, our General Managers are business leaders. They are accountable for the overall success, profitability, culture, and guest experience of their operation. They lead from the front, develop people, understand the numbers, create energy, solve problems, and consistently raise the standard.

If you are passionate about hospitality, thrive in a fast-paced environment, understand that hospitality is about how we make people feel—not simply the service we provide, and want to be part of an organization committed to developing exceptional people, we want to meet you.

WHO WE ARE

Century Hospitality Group is an award-winning collection of fresh, fun, chic, unique, and original boutique restaurant concepts based in Edmonton, Alberta.

Our restaurants are built around gorgeous contemporary environments, innovative and highly flavorful cuisine, exceptional cocktails and wine, and—most importantly—warm, genuine hospitality.

We are passionate about our industry. We believe in the craftsmanship of food, wine and service, and we are relentless in our pursuit of memorable dining experiences.

OUR MISSION - Create the Ultimate Experience in Eat, Drink & Play.

OUR VISION:

Together, as a team, we will continue to exceed guest expectations by developing new concepts, honoring the values of our craft, and constantly improving our business performance—allowing us to define ourselves as the most innovative dining group in Alberta.

OUR VALUES:

PRIDE & PASSION — Bring your best to everything you do.

COMMITMENT — Be committed to our people, our guests, and our goals.

OWNERSHIP THINKING — Treat every decision, every dollar, every guest, and every team member as if you own the business.

FANATICAL GUEST EXPERIENCE — Everything we do ultimately comes back to the guest.

THE OPPORTUNITY

As General Manager or Assistant General Manager, you will be the business leader of the restaurant, responsible for driving operational excellence, financial performance, team development, and an exceptional guest experience.

You will work closely with the Executive Chef and leadership team to ensure every aspect of the operation reflects Century Hospitality Group’s standards.

You will be expected to think beyond today’s shift and constantly ask:

How do we make this better?

You will have the autonomy to lead, the accountability to perform, and the opportunity to grow within an organization that believes strongly in developing its people.

WHAT YOU’LL OWN

• The overall success, profitability, and performance of the restaurant
• Leadership, development, coaching, and retention of the FOH team
• Recruiting continuously and identifying high-potential talent
• Building a strong leadership pipeline for future growth
• All front-of-house labour and operating costs
• Sales growth and revenue-driving initiatives
• Weekly scheduling aligned with projected sales and labour targets
• Guest satisfaction, retention, and relationship building
• Execution of CHG standards for service, hospitality, environment, and operations

THE LEADER WE’RE LOOKING FOR

You are energetic. You are confident. You are curious.

You don’t wait to be told what needs to be done.

You see it. You own it. You solve it.

You understand that great hospitality starts with great people, and you know how to build a team that is engaged, accountable, motivated, and proud of where they work.

You are equally comfortable discussing a guest experience, coaching a server, reviewing a labour report, analyzing sales, or making a business decision under pressure.

Most importantly, you lead by example.

You bring:

• Proven leadership experience in a high-volume, upscale hospitality environment
• Strong business and financial acumen
• A demonstrated ability to drive sales and manage costs
• Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills
• Strong organization, delegation, and time-management abilities
• The ability to remain composed and effective under pressure
• A passion for developing people and building future leaders
• A genuine passion for hospitality and creating memorable guest experiences
• Confidence interacting with guests, team members, ownership, and senior leadership
• A professional, positive, solutions-oriented attitude
• The ability to see both the details and the bigger picture
• A genuine desire to continuously learn, improve, and grow

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

Success at Century Hospitality Group isn’t simply measured by whether the restaurant opens on time and closes properly.

Success is a thriving business.

It is a team that wants to be there.

It is leaders who develop leaders.

It is guests who return because of how your team made them feel.

It is financial performance that reflects disciplined business leadership.

It is an environment where standards are high, energy is contagious, and people take pride in what they do.

And it is knowing that you played a significant role in making all of it happen.

WHY CENTURY HOSPITALITY GROUP?

This is about your passion, your purpose, and your potential.

When you join CHG, expect intensity, excitement, energy, accountability, and opportunity.

We believe great companies are built by developing great people. Through our culture of continuous learning and people development, we are committed to helping our leaders become stronger operators, better mentors, and more capable business leaders.

We’re not looking for someone who simply wants a job.

We’re looking for someone who wants to build something.

If you are a passionate, driven, commercially minded hospitality professional who wants to lead from the front, develop people, elevate standards, and create a Fanatical Guest Experience every single day, we want to hear from you.
