Assistant General Manager

About Any Day Now

Some restaurants are just places to eat. Any Day Now is meant to be more than that — a space for the morning regulars, the working lunch crowd, the spontaneous dinner, and everyone in between. We're an all-day dining concept rooted in the idea that every part of the day deserves good coffee, great food, genuine hospitality, and a room that feels like yours.

We're part of Tim Ma Hospitality, a DC-based restaurant group with deep community roots and national recognition. We're not a corporation — we're a team building restaurants we're proud of, and we want our managers to grow with us.

The Role

The Assistant General Manager is the operational backbone of Any Day Now. You'll work closely with the General Manager and ownership to keep the day running smoothly across every daypart — making sure the 7am rush lands as well as a quiet Monday dinner, and that the team feels supported throughout. This is a hands-on, people-first leadership role with a clear path to General Manager for the right person.
