Restaurant General Manager

Sickies Garage Burgers & Brews  |  Fargo & Bismarck, North Dakota

You already know how to run a high-volume restaurant. This is one worth running.


$70,000–$80,000 Starting Salary   |   $15,000–$20,000 Average Annual Performance Bonus   |   $10,000 Hiring & Retention Bonus   |   Relocation Assistance Available

This isn't an entry-level GM job. Sickies Garage — a 13-location, founder-built restaurant group known for scratch-kitchen food and a 50+ tap beer program — is hiring a proven operator to take full ownership of a $3.5M+ location in Fargo or Bismarck: your P&L, your team, your results, your upside.


What You'll Earn

•     $70,000–$80,000 starting salary

•     $15,000–$20,000 average annual performance bonus, with specific bonus parameters discussed during your interview

•     $10,000 Hiring & Retention Bonus — $2,500 at GM training completion, 90 days, 6 months, and 12 months

•     100% company-paid health insurance, 3 weeks PTO, vehicle allowance, phone allowance

•     Realistic year-one total: $85,000–$100,000+ in salary and bonus, plus the $10K retention bonus

Relocating? We'll cover it for the right candidate — Fargo and Bismarck are two of the fastest-growing, most livable mid-sized cities in the country, and we'll walk you through the move before you ever have to commit to it.


What You'll Own

Full P&L and profitability. Recruiting, staffing, and retention. Building and developing your management team — and future company leaders. Labor and food cost control. Food quality, cleanliness, and guest experience. Local marketing and community presence. You lead from the floor and own your numbers — and you're backed by a structured 6-week GM training program and real operations support, not a quarterly check-in call.

We're independent and founder-led, which means fast decisions and GMs who get heard. 50% of our current GMs and above were hired from within — if you want ownership now and a real shot at multi-unit leadership later, that path exists here.


Who We're Looking For

•     5+ years in restaurant management, 2+ as a GM in a high-volume, full-service restaurant

•     Command of P&L, labor, and cost controls — you know your numbers cold

•     A track record of building and retaining strong teams

•     A hands-on leader with high standards and genuine hospitality instincts

If you've only ever managed shifts, this isn't the role. If you've run a restaurant like a business, it is.


Let's Talk

You don't have to be job-hunting to have this conversation — most great GMs aren't. We move fast: first conversation to offer typically takes 7 days, and we'll be straight with you about the numbers, the market, and the job from day one.


Apply today. Let's talk about your next restaurant.
Compensation: $70,000.00 - $95,000.00 per year

U.S. Equal Opportunity Employment Information (Completion is voluntary)

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

You are being given the opportunity to provide the following information in order to help us comply with federal and state Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action record keeping, reporting, and other legal requirements.

Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

Form CC-305
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 4/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
