One Haus Hospitality

Located in the vibrant Midtown neighborhood of Atlanta, this new restaurant is opening as the second location within a growing hospitality group known for thoughtful design, elevated concepts, and a commitment to meaningful guest experiences. The menu blends authentic Oaxacan and Northern Mexican culinary traditions with an elevated, modern approach—featuring refined braises, handcrafted tortillas, wood-fired elements, and a curated mezcal, tequila, and Spanish wine program.

They are seeking a bilingual, hands-on General Manager to steward this opening and lead the restaurant through pre-launch, grand opening, and ongoing operations. This leader must be a self-starter—someone who thrives with autonomy and can build structure, systems, and team culture from the ground up.

The ideal General Manager is steady, respectful, reliable, and committed to hospitality as both a craft and a service to others. The company values adults who take ownership, communicate openly, and bring a calm, solutions-oriented presence to their teams.

This is a place where strong values and strong performance go hand in hand—and where leaders set the tone for excellence every day.
