Restaurant General Manager - Fred's West 4th

General Manager | Fred's Kitsilano

Vancouver, BC | Full-Time | Competitive Salary + Performance Incentives

Lead the team. Shape the experience. Grow with us.

We're looking for an experienced, passionate General Manager to take the lead at Fred's Kitsilano , our vibrant neighbourhood restaurant in the heart of West 4th Avenue.

With an exciting new menu on the horizon and continued growth across the Fred's brand, this is an opportunity for a hospitality leader who loves being on the floor, building great teams, and creating the kind of restaurant guests want to return to again and again.

We're looking for someone who brings energy, ideas, and a genuine love for hospitality. Someone who knows how to balance an incredible guest experience with a successful business, and who wants to make a real impact.

A Little About Us

Fred's is all about great food, good company, and genuine hospitality. From handmade pasta and hearth-fired pizza to thoughtfully crafted cocktails, we're creating a neighbourhood gathering place that feels welcoming, lively, and a little elevated.

We're also part of Catalog Hospitality , a growing collection of restaurants, cafés, and boutique hotels across British Columbia. That means you'll have the opportunity to lead your own restaurant while benefiting from the support, resources, and career opportunities of a larger hospitality group.

The Opportunity

As General Manager, you'll be the driving force behind Fred's Kitsilano.

You'll lead a talented team, bring our guest experience to life, and play a key role in the restaurant's continued evolution. This isn't a behind-the-desk management position. We're looking for someone who thrives in the energy of service, connects with guests, and inspires their team to do great things.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead from the floor: Be a visible, engaged leader who sets the tone for great service and a positive team environment.

• Build an incredible team: Recruit, mentor, and develop people who are passionate about hospitality and proud of where they work.

• Create memorable experiences: Make every guest feel welcome, valued, and excited to come back.

• Make your mark: Bring fresh ideas, identify opportunities, and help shape the next chapter of Fred's Kitsilano.

• Drive the business forward: Take ownership of restaurant performance, including sales, labour, costs, and profitability.

• Keep things running smoothly: Oversee daily operations, scheduling, training, and restaurant standards.

• Grow with the brand: Work closely with our operations team to support new initiatives and the continued development of Fred's.

Who We're Looking For

You're a confident, approachable leader who genuinely enjoys the restaurant business. You know that great hospitality starts with a great team, and you're just as comfortable connecting with guests as you are reviewing financial performance.

Ideally, you bring:

• 3+ years of experience as a Restaurant General Manager or in a senior restaurant leadership role.

• A proven ability to build, motivate, and develop strong teams.

• Solid business knowledge, including labour management, food and beverage costs, and restaurant profitability.

• A hands-on leadership style and a genuine passion for the guest experience.

• Strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.

• A proactive mindset and the confidence to take ownership of your restaurant.

• Experience in a high-volume, full-service restaurant environment is an asset.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who cares about their people, takes pride in their restaurant, and wants to be part of something that's growing.

Why Fred's?

Because this is more than just another GM position.

You'll have the opportunity to lead an established neighbourhood restaurant, influence its future, and grow alongside a hospitality group that's continuing to expand.

Here's what you can look forward to:

• Competitive salary and performance-based incentives.

• The opportunity to make a real impact on your restaurant's success.

• Support from an experienced operations and leadership team.

• Career development and growth opportunities across Catalog Hospitality.

• A collaborative environment where your ideas and experience are valued.

• The chance to be part of an exciting new chapter for the Fred's brand.
