Job Overview

Assistant Manager – Cornerstone Pub and Prime

Full-Time or Part-Time | Growth Opportunity | Leadership Development

OUR STORY

Cornerstone Pub and Prime is more than just a restaurant and bar — it’s a gathering place for the community.
Known for elevated pub food, live music, holiday pop-ups, tent parties, and an energetic atmosphere, Cornerstone has built a reputation for creating memorable guest experiences while staying deeply connected to the local community.
We believe hospitality is about more than serving food and drinks — it’s about creating experiences, building relationships, developing great people, and constantly evolving.
As we continue growing and preparing for future expansion — including a potential second location within the next 12–18 months — we’re looking for leaders who want to grow with us and help shape the future of the company.

IS THIS ROLE FOR YOU?

Do you enjoy leading people while still jumping in to help when things get busy?
Do you thrive in fast-paced environments where no two days are the same?
Are you excited by growth, technology, events, marketing, systems, and fresh ideas?
Do you enjoy improving operations instead of simply maintaining the status quo? Are you creative, artistic and a good problem solver?
If so, this may be the perfect opportunity for you.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

We believe restaurants should continue evolving — and that includes embracing technology, AI, creativity, education, and modern systems to operate smarter and create better guest experiences.
We actively use:

• AI tools and automation
• Excel and reporting systems
• Microsoft Word and Outlook
• Google Drive and collaborative systems
• Zoom and Google Meet
• Canva and social media marketing tools
• TOAST POS and restaurant technology

We are heavily focused on social media, branding, and community engagement. From live music nights and patio events to viral-style content and holiday experiences, we are always looking for creative ways to grow the brand and create excitement around the restaurant.
We are looking for someone who:

• Embraces technology and innovation
• Problem-solves and loves to execute an artistic vision
• Brings fresh ideas and creative thinking
• Wants to help improve operations, training, communication, marketing, and guest experience
• Is open-minded, adaptable, and growth-oriented

We also invest heavily in education and leadership development. Multiple times each year, we network and train with restaurant owners and operators from around the country, including hospitality conferences and leadership events in Las Vegas.
We surround ourselves with some of the best hospitality coaches, consultants, and owner-operators in the industry because we believe continuous learning creates better leaders, stronger systems, and better businesses.
For the right candidate, there may be opportunities to attend trainings, conferences, and networking events as part of your growth within the company.

WILL YOU FIT IN HERE?

We’re not looking for someone who just wants to “manage shifts.”
We’re looking for someone who:

• Wants to help build something bigger
• Thrives in fast-paced, high-energy environments

At Cornerstone, we move fast, adapt often, and continuously evolve. We value people who can embrace change, think creatively, and help push the business forward.
If you prefer “the way things have always been done,” this probably is not the right fit.
But if you’re excited by leadership, hospitality, events, marketing, systems, technology, and building something special — you’ll probably love it here.
