General Manager of the Year 2023 - Nomination Form

Restaurant Business (RB) is now accepting nominations for its 2023 General Manager of the Year Awards. In its debut year, the awards will honor restaurant managers from limited-service chains, full-service chains and independent restaurants who demonstrate outstanding leadership through certain criteria, such as hitting or exceeding the restaurant’s financial metrics, impacting turnover, leadership skills through crisis and shaping workplace culture. Each of the three winners will receive a $2,500 cash prize, along with airfare and hotel accommodations in Chicago for the National Restaurant Association Show in May, where they will be honored at an award celebration. Winners will also be featured in Restaurant Business Online coverage.

To recognize these frontline leaders, RB is calling for anyone affiliated with the restaurant industry (ownership, staff, franchisor, suppliers) to submit their nominations for the industry’s best general managers via this nomination form through March 31st. Upon completion, there will be a $95 application fee required per submission. Nominees will not be accepted without payment.
