Bilingual Assistant Manager - Taco John's Colby, KSWhere Else Can You Get Paid to Perfect Potato Olés?

Ready to spice up your career? Taco John's isn't your average fast-food gig. We're one of the largest Mexican quick-service brands in America, and we're the ONLY place on Earth serving up our legendary Potato Olés. We fry our crispy taco shells, salad bowls, and nacho chips fresh daily because quality matters to us - and it shows.

We're searching for a dynamic Bilingual Assistant Manager (Spanish/English) in Colby, Kansas who's ready to be at the heart of our operation. This isn't about punching a clock; it's about leading a diverse team, driving results, and building a career you can actually be proud of.

Why Taco John's?

At Taco John's, we pride ourselves on our bold West-Mex® flavors and our even bolder commitment to our people. Our mission? Create an energetic, supportive workplace where creativity and dedication thrive. We're talking real mentorship, genuine skills development, and a fun, family-like atmosphere where your voice is heard and your contributions matter.

We balance professionalism with personality. Hard work gets rewarded. And building lasting connections with colleagues and customers? That's what we're all about.

What Your Day Actually Looks Like

Forget the droned-out fast-food routine. As our Bilingual Assistant Manager, you'll be right in the action - opening or closing the store the Olé way, connecting with customers and team members in both Spanish and English, and helping our General Manager lead a team of around 25 - 30 enthusiastic team members (including Shift Managers and crew).

You'll be moving, thinking on your feet, and making real decisions. From assisting with scheduling your customer service team to ensuring everyone delivers that quality food experience our customers crave, you're essential to our success. Your bilingual skills will help bridge communication gaps, create an inclusive environment, and ensure every team member can succeed regardless of their primary language.

You'll coordinate activities, participate in food prep and assembly, and create the kind of environment where your team wants to show up and crush it every day.

Yes, working with food can get messy - but that's part of the fun! You'll also be proactive about safety, cleanliness, and helping every team member succeed in their role.

What You'll Be Responsible For

As an Assistant Manager supporting our General Manager, you'll:

• Help maintain overall management responsibilities to keep the restaurant profitable, efficient, and running smoothly
• Direct, coordinate, and jump into food preparation, order assembly, and customer transactions
• Interview, hire, and train new team members while coordinating daily activities - in both English and Spanish as needed
• Assist with planning, scheduling, budgeting, financial reporting, and inventory control
• Lead by example and actively manage your team to meet budgets and build sales
• Provide translation and communication support to ensure all team members understand expectations, training, and procedures

The Schedule

This Assistant Manager position offers 35-40 hours per week with shifts including 6:30am-2:00pm, 11:00am-7:00pm, and 2:00pm-10:30pm. We get it - life happens. Whether you have church, sports, school activities, or other commitments, we work with you to create a schedule that ensures your success without sacrificing work-life balance.

What's In It For You?

• Competitive Pay: $20.00-$22.00/hour based on experience
• Quarterly Bonus Opportunities - your performance pays off
• Free Food - because Potato Olés should be a job perk
• Major Holidays Off - we're closed Easter, Thanksgiving & Christmas
