General Manager

About this position

TIN’s is an ambitious cocktail bar and restaurant concept in the Lower East Side. Led by an award-winning ownership team, we’re seeking an experienced, highly motivated and deeply passionate General Manager to lead this innovative hybrid space and help write our next chapter.

This is a full operational leadership role. The GM owns the business day to day, including service, people, systems, and financial performance. They work directly with ownership to set direction for the venue. We deliver elite-level hospitality in a vibrant environment—and we are looking for someone who genuinely loves building culture, taking total ownership, and crafting memorable guest moments.

A defining feature of Tin’s is its progressive, technique-driven prep program. Because the menu and beverage offerings are highly focused, much of the work happens behind the scenes. That includes fermentation, syrup development, clarification and stabilization, and advanced cocktail prep. The GM is accountable for the systems, staffing, and cost control that keep this program running at a high standard.

The role suits a proven GM or a senior AGM from a serious cocktail bar or restaurant. You should have already run a floor, a team, and a P&L, and want a venue where technique and hospitality matter equally.
