Restaurant General Manager

HRI Hospitality•Dallas, TX

About The Position

Luna Roja is launching as a modern Mexican restaurant and bar built for today’s Dallas, bold, social, culture-rich, and deeply connected to its neighborhood. This is a rare opportunity to step in at the ground floor and help build something meaningful, not simply manage something existing. As the Restaurant General Manager, you are a founding leader. You will shape the culture, set the tone, and define what hospitality feels like at Luna Roja, from pre-opening energy to longterm neighborhood loyalty. This role is for a leader who thrives on connection, momentum, and ownership, and who understands that great restaurants are built on both experience and performance. You are not inheriting systems; you’re helping create them. You are not just running shifts; you’re building energy and consistency. You are not managing a dining room; you’re leading a restaurant and bar people feel emotionally connected to.
