The Gutter is a bar and bowling alley opening a new location in Biddeford, Maine. We are looking for an energetic General Manager with a can-do attitude. We have a full bar, bowling alley, and a small kitchen. We are looking for a strong leader to manage scheduling, ordering, and general day to day operations. The GM must excel at customer service and be skilled with office logistics. Everyone in our management team is responsible for handling minor lane issues, and our mechanics will train you. Being comfortable working with your hands is a must.
Our GMs are motivators who establish and maintain strong and effective relationships with management, employees and customers. Our GMs must be able to work independently, under pressure, and use sound business judgment - while keeping an eye on the future by ensuring guest satisfaction, employee dedication, and profit maximization.
The Gutter was founded in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in 2007 with 8 vintage bowling lanes, a small music venue, and a focus on American independent craft beer. Our second location opened in Long Island City, Queens in 2017. In 2020 the third and largest location opened on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Biddeford, with 8 lanes, will be our fourth location.
