Assistant Manager – Shift Operations (Hands-On Role)

The Dough Shed Pizzeria | West Jefferson, NC

We’re hiring a strong, dependable leader to help run shifts at The Dough Shed Pizzeria.

This is a hands-on leadership role focused on running the shift—not a back-office management position.

If you’re someone who can keep things moving, stay organized, and support a team in a fast-paced environment, this is a great fit.

What You’ll Do

Lead shifts and keep operations running smoothly

Direct team members and maintain strong flow during busy periods

Handle customer questions and resolve issues professionally

Jump in wherever needed (kitchen, front, prep)

Keep the restaurant clean, stocked, and organized

Communicate directly with managers and carry out direction during each shift

You are the go-to leader on shift, working closely with management

What This Role Is (and Isn’t)

This is a leadership role focused on operations.

You will NOT be responsible for:

Food ordering

Staffing

Scheduling

Your focus is simple: run a smooth, efficient shift and lead the team well while working under the direction of management

What We’re Looking For

Previous restaurant experience (leadership preferred)

Reliable, steady, and able to stay calm under pressure

Strong communication and problem-solving skills

Willing to lead by example and stay involved

Not a Fit If You

Prefer to stand back instead of staying hands-on

Struggle in fast-paced environments

Need constant direction

Why This Role Works

Clear expectations—no back-office management stress

Strong, team-focused environment

Opportunity to grow into more over time

Pay & Schedule

Pay based on experience

Full-time position

Schedule will mainly include afternoon, evening/dinner shifts, and weekends
