ABOUT MAMAHUHU
Mamahuhu is built around the idea that food brings people, communities, and cultures together. Chinese-American food is a perfect example — a cuisine that began in China, evolved in America, and continues to bring people together in joyful, shared moments. We’re here to celebrate that tradition by creating thoughtful new expressions of classic dishes that are fun, nourishing, and absolutely delicious.
About Us
Mamahuhu’s founding team includes Brandon Jew of Mister Jiu’s in San Francisco’s Chinatown and Anmao Sun and Ben Moore of Hunter Gatherer, a farm-to-table restaurant group in Shanghai, China. With experience spanning fine dining to fast casual, China to California, our team is united by a shared love for Chinese-American food and a commitment to sustainability, quality sourcing, and community.
Our mission is simple: to create Happier and Healthier Communities by spreading the joy of Chinese-American fare and tradition
DESCRIPTION
We’re looking for a passionate, positive, and growth-minded General Manager to lead our Noe Valley restaurant. This role owns the entire restaurant — front of house and back of house — from the guest experience up front to the food coming out of the kitchen.
As GM, you’re expected to develop real, working knowledge of how the kitchen runs: prep systems, line service, inventory and ordering, food safety, and kitchen labor and food cost management. Prior restaurant or GM experience is a plus but not a strict requirement — what matters most is a genuine willingness to learn kitchen operations hands-on and lead BOH with the same confidence as FOH.
This also makes the role a great next step for an experienced Kitchen Manager or BOH leader who already knows the kitchen inside and out and is ready to grow into a GM position — building out the FOH, people, and business skills needed to run a full location.
You’ll lead a team of 15–20 people and set the tone for the restaurant experience. We’re looking for someone who is hungry to grow, excited about learning both sides of the house, and energized by making work fun, meaningful, and people-centered.
This is a full-time role based in the San Francisco Bay Area. We offer strong benefits, a supportive and upbeat work culture, and a schedule that promotes long-term success.

Financial Management
- Manage restaurant costs (labor, food, etc.) across FOH and BOH in line with company targets
- Hit weekly food and labor cost targets; review and present period-end P&Ls to upper management
- Work with the Operations team to control waste, optimize kitchen systems, and improve margins
Facilities & Systems
- Maintain and oversee all equipment and facilities, including kitchen equipment
- Be proficient in using and troubleshooting restaurant tech systems (POS, BOH, scheduling, etc.)
- Promote daily safety and policy compliance across the entire restaurant
QUALIFICATIONS
- Based in or able to commute within the San Francisco Bay Area
- Leadership experience in any industry; restaurant and/or kitchen experience strongly preferred given this role’s BOH responsibilities
- Willingness and ability to develop hands-on knowledge of kitchen operations — prep, line, food safety, and kitchen cost management — if not already in place
- A people-first mindset with a genuine passion for hospitality
- Brings a positive, upbeat energy that makes work fun for the whole team
