Restaurant Manager

Where Leadership Meets the Birthplace of Aviation

Dayton, Ohio—the city that taught the world to fly—is home to a restaurant where ambition takes flight of its own. At Bistecca, we’re not simply serving steaks; we’re crafting an experience of precision, hospitality, and culinary artistry. We’re seeking a leader ready to take the helm of this experience and soar.

As part of First Hospitality, a Chicago-based company built on innovation since 1985, you’ll join an organization that believes in promoting from within and investing in the professionals who drive our success. Dayton’s own spirit of invention—the same ingenuity that gave rise to the Wright Brothers—lives on in our kitchens and dining rooms, and we’re looking for someone who shares that drive.
