Job Description

Big news! We're opening a new location in Verona in 2026, and this one's going to have a bar! We're looking for an experienced bar pro to help us dream it up, get it rolling, and then lead the way once we open. Just like our other spots, we'll be serving up affordable, craft-quality pizza - and this time with an expanded bar to go with it. 🍻

This isn't your typical 'Bar Manager' gig... it's way more fun. You'll get to dive into restaurant operations while also pouring pints, slinging slices, and keeping the *Ian's Vibe* alive for everyone who walks by or walks in: guests, teammates, doggie visitors, the beer delivery guy, even window shoppers.

• Inclusive Culture: Join a diverse and inclusive team committed to the Big Five Code of Conduct: Dependability, Awareness, Connection, Generosity, and Effort.
• Growth Opportunities: We are looking for motivated individuals to help us grow! You can advance your career with our robust Management Training and even own and operate your own Ian's Pizza someday.
