Not too many people, but not too few either - just the right amount to make magic happen, without breaking the bank. » ⑤ Ready-to-Show Dining Rooms You’ll lead the charge to make sure our dining rooms are presentable, so fresh, and so clean clean. As a disclaimer: This is a dynamic position, in a rapidly growing company, in an always-changing industry. That means that this position and its responsibilities will continue to evolve. So, if you're change-adverse, this job ain't it. That being said - if you're good with change, and are willing to try new things - you'll love this job, and it'll love you right back. PAY The total compensation for this position will be between $60000.00 - $70000.00 per year. Base salary depends on relevant experience, and quarterly bonus potential is based on sales, profitability, and completion of special projects. WORK SCHEDULE This position is full-time and salaried, with a semi-set schedule that allows for flexibility. Days off are typically back-to-back. Our Assistant General Manager will work 5 days, and typically 45-ish hours per week. WILL YOU FIT IN HERE? Our team has been built - brick by brick - on shared core values. And no, they’re not just bullsh*t words slapped on a wall - they’re who we are at our core - and they’re non-negotiables for working here. You’ll feel super comfy and right at home if these words describe you: » You Come With Batteries Included You’re a high-energy self-starter who jumps into action, and doesn’t need hand-holding to get things done. » You’re Scrappy You’re a resourceful problem solver who makes things happen; if there’s no door, you get in through a window. » You Take Your Work Seriously You take pride in your work, big and small, and you have a natural reflex to do things the right way. » But, You Don’t Take Yourself Too Seriously You’re a positive team player who’s quick to laugh at your own mistakes, open to feedback, and humble about your wins. And if these words don’t describe you? You’ll be decidedly uncomfy here. So, fair warning - If you’re a cranky a** problem-bringer who’s cool being super-mid at your job and needs constant hand holding… may we suggest… working literally anywhere else?
