Assistant General Manager

Assistant General Manager Campus Restaurant Operations Help run a high-volume campus restaurant through two focused semesters, then enjoy an extended summer break that aligns with the academic calendar. Most restaurant management jobs run nearly year-round with little time away. This role is different. During the roughly thirty‑two‑week academic operating season, you'll help lead every part of a fast‑paced, high‑volume restaurant. At the end of the school year, our campus locations close for the summer, and team members are separated from employment for the off‑season, with the opportunity to return for the following academic year based on business needs and performance. It's a unique schedule that offers time to recharge, travel, spend time with family, pursue other opportunities, or simply enjoy the summer before returning to campus operations. Why this role is different A schedule built around the academic calendar. Work hard during the busy campus season, then enjoy an extended summer break while the university is on recess. A campus, not a chain box. Be part of an operation embedded in campus life, with the energy and rhythm of the school year. Steadier, high-volume business. Campus meal‑plan infrastructure provides more predictable traffic than many traditional restaurant concepts. Real room to grow. Strong Assistant General Managers have opportunities to advance into General Manager, multi‑unit, and field leadership roles as we continue to expand. Meaningful leadership. Play a key role in restaurant performance, team development, operational execution, and business results. What you'll do Lead your team.
