As an Assistant Restaurant Manager, you'll help lead daily operations, coach employees, deliver exceptional guest service, and create an environment where both customers and team members enjoy coming to work. This is an opportunity to build a long-term career with a company that promotes from within and invests in developing future General Managers and multi-unit leaders.

Every shift is different, and that's what makes this position exciting. You'll partner with the General Manager to oversee restaurant operations, maintain staffing levels, improve operational efficiency, and ensure every guest receives fast, friendly, and accurate service.

Our Assistant Managers complete company leadership training, restaurant management development programs, food safety certification, manager certification, and ongoing operational training designed to prepare them for future advancement opportunities.

Experience supervising employees, improving guest satisfaction, managing labor costs, coaching performance, resolving customer concerns, increasing sales, maintaining inventory controls, and leading high-performing teams will help you succeed in this role. You should be comfortable standing for extended periods, lifting up to 50 pounds, and working in a fast-paced restaurant environment.
