General Manager, Toronto Bar & Events

About the job General Manager, Toronto Bar & Events I'm recruiting for a

General Manager role at an established downtown Toronto bar , and I want to be clear about what makes this opportunity different.

This is a role for someone who

ultimately wants to own a bar , but is looking for the right place, partners, and runway to get there.

The bar is already open and operating (just over

$1M in annual sales ), and ownership is intentionally looking for a GM who wants to take on real responsibility, shape the direction of the business, and grow into

equity over time .

At its core, this is a

hands-on GM role

running a bar - floor leadership, people management, standards, follow-through, and accountability. Where the real upside comes in is

events . The space is well suited to private bookings and corporate events, which currently represent a smaller portion of revenue but have significant room to grow.
