Assistant General Manager

Join Our Team as an Assistant General Manager

Are you a proven restaurant leader who thrives in fast-paced environments, builds strong teams, and drives results wherever you go? At Luna Grill, you won't just hear us say we have great culture, we can prove it:

• Rapid Growth : We built 11 new restaurants across Southern California, Arizona, and Texas in 2026, with more growth planned for 2027 (including our first locations in Nevada!!). Growth like this means real opportunity: more restaurants, more leadership roles, and more room to move up.

• Training & Culture That Works : Our restaurant-level turnover sits below 50%!!! less than half the industry average. That's not an accident; it's what happens when people are developed, supported, and are a part of something great!

• A Team That's Winning : We've averaged a 4.8 guest review rating on Google and Yelp company-wide for two years running!!Join a team that's winning and be a winner with us.

As an Assistant General Manager , you’ll step into a hands-on leadership role right alongside your General Manager, helping run a high-performing restaurant, coaching your team, and keeping hospitality and operations strong shift after shift.

We build leaders from within at every level: Shift Leader → AGM → GM → Bench GM and beyond.
