What You'll Own:  

• Restaurant profitability – Alongside the GM, you'll own the restaurant's financial performance by managing labor, reviewing profit-and-loss results, controlling costs, reducing waste, forecasting and driving sales, and making smart decisions that help your team win. 
• Brand representation & guest relationships – You'll stay active on the floor, gather guest feedback, resolve concerns quickly, and help create the kind of experience that keeps guests coming back for more. 
• Service regulation compliance – You'll help keep the restaurant running responsibly by upholding alcoholic beverage regulations, coaching the team on proper service standards, and addressing issues quickly. 
• Inventory, purchasing, and maintenance – You'll keep the restaurant shift-ready by assisting with inventory and equipment inspections, purchasing food and supplies, and coordinating repairs and maintenance as needed.

• Intelligence, analytical skills, assertiveness, passion, energy, tenacity, and ability to inspire followership.
