Lead Training That Delivers Results
At LM Restaurants, we believe that hospitality starts with our people and training is where it all begins. As a Field Training Manager, you’ll take our training philosophy on the road, working directly in our restaurants to coach, validate, and strengthen performance. You’ll be a partner to operators, a resource for our teams, and a steward of our standards.

This is not a desk job. It’s a high-impact, high-visibility role that lives in the field, where training meets execution. If you’re passionate about growing people, solving performance problems, and making training real in the moment, we want you on the team.

Who You Are

You’re a hands-on trainer who can speak the language of operators in full-service restaurants with scratch-made kitchens. You know that building capability isn’t about PowerPoints, it’s about presence, coaching, and accountability. You’re the kind of leader who walks into a store and immediately sees what needs attention, who connects quickly with GMs and hourly team members alike, and who thrives on helping people get better every day.

What You’ll Do

• Coach in the Field: Travel to restaurants across our brands to observe, support, and coach on-the-job performance (80% of the time).

• Drive Operational Training: Ensure consistent delivery, accountability, and validation of hourly and management training.

• Close Gaps: Identify deficiencies in training execution and work side-by-side with operators to fix them.

• Elevate the MIT Program: Partner with host managers and check in on MIT progress to ensure development stays on track.

• Develop In-Store Trainers: Develop and certify in-store trainers to ensure consistent and scalable training delivery.

• Support NSOs: Assist with training execution during New Store Openings, helping teams ramp up quickly and confidently.

• Strengthen Systems: Audit training checklists, tools, and platforms to make sure stores are using what we’ve built.

• Champion a Training Culture: Inspire a culture of daily development by modeling coaching in the moment, celebrating trainer impact, and reinforcing guest-focused learning.

Why You’ll Love This Role

• Competitive salary range: $60,000 – $75,000

• Extensive travel: Be in the action 80% of the time, no two weeks are the same

• Monthly car allowance

• Full benefits package: Medical, dental, vision

• Company-paid life insurance, short-term and long-term disability

• 401(k) with company contribution

• Paid time off

• Employee dining discounts

• Career development support & tuition reimbursement

• Work with a passionate team of operators, trainers, and leaders who believe in people-first growth

What You’ll Bring

• 3+ years of full-service restaurant operations experience, ideally with a scratch-made kitchen

• Strong working knowledge of front-of-house and back-of-house operations

• Willingness to travel 80% of the time with a valid driver’s license

• A coach’s mindset with a leader’s presence

• Comfort with travel and a flexible schedule to meet field needs

• Experience supporting MIT programs, NSOs, or multi-unit training rollouts

• Bonus: Bilingual in Spanish and English
