Resort Outlet General Manager
About The Position
Kalahari Resorts & Conventions is seeking multiple Restaurant General Managers for a variety of concepts. In this role, you’ll lead with heart, inspire your team, and create memorable dining experiences that keep guests coming back. Although some see meals as just something you do between waterslide runs or meetings, part of your Kalahari experience is world-class dining. At Kalahari, we take food pretty seriously. Every location features restaurants to satisfy every taste, from steakhouses to ice cream shops. You'll never have to eat in the same spot twice... but you just might want to. As part of our leadership team, you’ll embody our Promise to Lead with Love—guiding, supporting, and inspiring associates while delivering extraordinary guest experiences. You’ll help create a memorable dining atmosphere through delicious food, warm hospitality, and timeless charm. These positions are scheduled to begin in mid-September. We’re taking our time to find the right fit — a visionary who leads with both creativity and humility. This process will include discovery calls, informal conversations, and in-person interviews as we approach launch.
