Restaurant Manager pay ?

Is managing a restaurant for 30,000 dollar salary worth 50 hours a week of work?

Not even close. Depending on what the minimum wage is in your area, your hourly workers could make more money than you. Consider this:  $15/hr x 40 hrs = $600
10 hrs OT at time and a half (22.50) = $225.  Total gross wages for the week $825.
$825 x 52 weeks = $42,900.  What you are being offered for a management position with it's accompanying headaches if an insult.

It looks low.  But also consider health insurance and other benefits.

But suppose you don't take this job.  Can you do better at the same or fewer hours?

No.  You're not even earning a minimum $15/hr at that rate.  A mgr should be getting twice that amount.

That works out to about 14.65/hr based on a 40-hour week.  Or a "real" hourly of about 11.54/hr if you are working 50 hours a week.

For most people that would not be worth it, however, you also need to look at things such as any benefits you may get.   If you get full Medical/Dental/401K, 30K/year may be better than a company that pays you 40K but doesn't provide benefits.
