Assistant Manager

Assistant Unit Manager

You are a heartbeat away from ship's captain. As member of the management team, you shape the culture of the restaurant. It will carry your imprint. In the absence of the Restaurant General Manager (RGM), the buck stops with you. Your role is to build the capability of your team, continue running great shifts, and partner with your RGM to make your restaurant stand out from the field. Your role requires you to have a valid driver's license and clean driving record. This is a training ground for you because all that you learn here will be taken with you when you become RGM. Savor every experience, lean on your RGM for feedback and coaching, and gain confidence in your leadership of others and the restaurant!
