About the Role

The General Manager is the heartbeat of Nettle Salad Co. You own the full operation – from guest experience to team development to financial performance – and you carry the brand into the community every day, both inside and outside the restaurant. Nettle is rooted in the Mountain West: the trails, the studios, the bike shops, the people who take their health seriously and their community personally. Our GM lives that too. You lead by example, build a culture people want to be part of, and make sure every bowl that goes out the door reflects who we are. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, genuinely loves fresh food, and sees running a great restaurant as inseparable from being a great neighbor.
