Operations Manager

LE COUPE · Los Angeles, CA 90029

This Isn't Just Another Restaurant Management Job. We're looking for someone who wants to build a career, not just work another restaurant job. Le Coupé isn't looking for someone to simply manage shifts. We're looking for someone who wants to help build a company. We believe great restaurants are built by great operators - people who take ownership, solve problems before they're asked, lead by example, and genuinely care about the success of every guest and every employee. If you're looking for a job where you clock in, tell people what to do, and clock out, this isn't it. If you're the kind of person who notices something isn't right and fixes it without being asked, keeps standards high, jumps in wherever the team needs help, and wants to build something meaningful, we want to meet you. About Le Coupé Le Coupé is a chef-driven, scratch kitchen specializing in premium fried chicken. Everything is made in-house, from butchering and marinating our chicken to preparing our sides and sauces from scratch. We're dedicated to hospitality, consistency, quality, and continuous improvement. Our vision is much bigger than one restaurant. We're building a brand, and we're looking for someone who wants to grow alongside us. The Role We're hiring a Store Operations Manager to become the operational leader of our restaurant. You'll work directly with the owners and eventually become the person responsible for ensuring the restaurant runs at the highest level every single day. This is a hands-on leadership position. Some days you'll be greeting guests. Some days you'll be expediting food. Some days you'll be on the fryer. Some days you'll be helping unload deliveries, coaching employees, solving guest issues, writing schedules, or improving systems. There is no "that's not my job." The restaurant's success is your responsibility. What You'll Be Responsible For: Leadership Lead every shift with confidence and professionalism Coach and develop team members Hold employees accountable to company standards Build a culture of ownership and accountability Resolve problems calmly under pressure Set the pace through your own work ethic.

We want someone who helps build it. Who You Are You naturally take ownership. You don't wait to be told what needs to be done. You notice details others miss. You enjoy solving problems. You care about hospitality. You thrive in fast-paced environments. You can lead a team while still being willing to wash dishes, sweep the floor, or jump on the fryer if that's what the restaurant needs.
