About Zach Saueressig

Seasoned hospitality professional with proven experience in team building and operational excellence. Demonstrated history of effective talent recruiting, successful and compliant management of employee life cycle, creation and implementation of internal systems, construction of vibrant culture, leading operational efficiency, and generating positive financial results. I have always had an entrepreneurial mindset, I LOVE team building, and my operations background is paramount in helping me to support the entire employee life cycle. If you want to build your business, focus on your culture! I started working in restaurants washing dishes when I was 15 years old and by the time I was 27 I had my first GM job at full service restaurant. I stayed in restaurant operations management for many years amassing over 10 years of high volume GM experience before launching my own recruiting service in 2016. Life and business are what you allow them to teach you and humility is an essential life skill. I have been sober since early 2007, a father since early 2011, and service to community is my new religion.

Zach Saueressig Work Experience Details
  • Hightop Hospitality
    Regional Manager
    Hightop Hospitality Feb 2024 - Present
    Greater Minneapolis-St. Paul Area
    As a Regional Manager I support eight casual dining restaurant management teams, across two brands (Crooked Pint Ale House and Green Mill Restaurant and Bar), to drive sales and profitability while ensuring that all business processes are enforced regarding financial controls, operational policies and procedures, and brand standards.
  • Restaurant Jobs Mn
    Recruiter
    Restaurant Jobs Mn Aug 2016 - Feb 2024
    Greater Minneapolis-St. Paul Area
    I am an independent talent recruiter in the food and beverage industry. I collaborate with companies to source managerial talent by advertising (or creating and then advertising) an opportunity and then executing the initial vetting, screening, and qualifying of candidates to interview directly with the company. I manage candidates through the process and facilitate negotiations and offers. I also help job seeking candidates find a new professional home or advise them on their job search if their current experience and skills don't match my client's needs. My service is personal and my brand is built on experience, compassion, and candor. I believe in creative solutions, managing relationships over individual transactions, and the smile rarely leaves my face.
  • Z Italiano
    Owner/Managing Partner
    Z Italiano Sep 2014 - May 2016
    Edina, Mn
    I created, launched, and oversaw the day-to-day operations for this casual Italianesque concept. It was the only non-chain restaurant at the Southdale Shopping Center and the menu featured pizza, pasta, salads, and sandwiches. Unfortunately, we had to close Z Italiano on 5/24/2016 due to a lack foot traffic that made our business unsustainable in that location. Highlights in this experience were being able to create a new business/brand and achieving a 4.4-Stars rating on Yelp.

    Parasole Restaurant Holdings, Inc. Dec 2009 - Sep 2014

After a brief hiatus in 2008, I took over the Roseville, MN, location before amicably departing the company in August of 2009 in search of a new opportunity. Highlights in this experience were developing and promoting numerous hourly personnel into salaried management positions and leading the company 2 years in a row in "Comp Sales" by increasing our sales over $500,000 in that time frame.
