About Jekyll & Hyde

What We Are Looking For

We are not looking for someone who simply manages a schedule.

We are looking for a true restaurant leader who takes ownership of the operation, develops their team, understands the numbers, protects the guest experience, and consistently pushes the restaurant toward a higher standard.

The right candidate should be comfortable working directly with ownership and taking responsibility for both the operational and financial success of the restaurant.
