About Us

At Little Caesars, we pride ourselves on serving Hot-N-Ready® pizza with speed, quality, and community value. We believe in running energetic, fun shifts where great teamwork and strong leadership lead directly to operational success. We are seeking an experienced, hands-on Assistant Restaurant Manager with proven supervisory experience to partner with our General Manager, lead our shift crews, and drive day-to-day store excellence.

Role Overview

As an Assistant Manager, you will take direct ownership of shift operations, ensuring brand standards, guest satisfaction, and operational profitability. You won't just sit in the back office—you will lead from the front, coaching crew members during peak lunch and dinner rushes, managing make-line flow, controlling food and labor costs, and maintaining food safety standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Shift Leadership & Team Management: Open, transition, and close store shifts smoothly; delegate prep and station assignments, lead team huddles, and keep crew members motivated during high-volume rushes.
• Quality & Speed of Service: Enforce Little Caesars product quality, recipe specifications, and service time goals to ensure Hot-N-Ready® items are hot, fresh, and served with minimal wait time.
• Operational & Cost Controls: Track and manage daily food waste, labor hours, and inventory usage during assigned shifts.
• Cash & Security Procedures: Execute daily cash handling procedures, perform register drawer counts, monitor safe drops, and execute end-of-shift banking and reports accurately.
• Food Safety & Cleanliness: Ensure all workstations, food preparation equipment (dough mixers, sheeters, pizza ovens), and walk-in coolers meet strict health department and company sanitation standards.
• Guest Relations: Address and resolve customer questions, phone inquiries, and order concerns promptly with a professional, customer-first attitude.

What We’re Looking For

• Management Experience: Minimum 1–2 years of supervisory or shift management experience in restaurant, fast food (QSR), retail, or hospitality environments.
• Age & Education: At least 18 years of age with a high school diploma or GED equivalent.
• Operational Stamina: Comfort working in a hands-on, high-tempo kitchen environment with the ability to stand for extended periods and lift up to 50–55 lbs (dough bags, cheese boxes, sauce buckets).
• Schedule Availability: Open availability including evenings, closing shifts, and weekends (the busiest pizza windows).
• Valid Credentials: Valid driver's license with reliable personal transportation (for daily bank deposits and emergency store needs) and ServSafe certification (or ability to earn upon hire).

What We Offer

• Competitive Pay: $14.00 – $18.00/hour depending on prior leadership experience.
• Performance Incentives: Store performance bonuses and shift incentive opportunities.
• Career Growth: Direct advancement pipeline toward Co-Manager and General Manager roles.
• Perks & Benefits: Free/discounted meals, flexible scheduling, and paid training programs.
