Assistant General Manager

Assistant General Manager

Lead with Heart. Grow with Taco Bell. Make Your Mark.

Are you a natural leader who thrives in fast-paced environments and loves helping others succeed? At Taco Bell, we don't just serve craveable food-we build incredible teams, grow future leaders, and create real career opportunities.

As an Assistant General Manager (AGM), you'll play a key role in running day-to-day operations and setting the tone for team culture, customer service, and restaurant performance. You'll work side-by-side with the General Manager (GM), guiding your crew, making smart business decisions, and helping shape the future of the brand-starting with your restaurant. If you're driven, people-focused, and ready to grow, this is your moment.

What You'll Do - Your Day-to-Day

As AGM, you'll wear many hats-coach, problem-solver, motivator, operator, and more. You'll support your GM and lead by example to ensure everything runs smoothly and guests leave with a smile (and maybe a Baja Blast too).

Your Responsibilities:

• Lead shifts with confidence-ensuring food quality, cleanliness, speed, and service excellence.
• Model and reinforce Shift Excellence standards and ensure MIC Success Routine is executed with precision.
• Train, coach, and motivate team members at all levels to perform their best.
• Support performance reviews, provide real-time feedback, and address employee concerns or disciplinary needs as they arise.
• Drive hiring and recruiting efforts, partnering with the GM to build a high-performing team rooted in equity, inclusion, and belonging.
• Assist with key operations, including cash handling, labor planning, inventory control, and scheduling.
• Analyze financial reports, support P&L decisions, and implement action plans to improve results.
• Ensure the facility is safe, clean, and compliant with health and safety standards.
• Be the go-to leader in the RGM's absence-and show what you're capable of every day.

Are You the Right Fit?

We're looking for leaders who take initiative, thrive under pressure, and bring energy to every shift.

Requirements:

• 2+ years of restaurant or retail management experience (QSR experience preferred)

• Passion for Taco Bell's culture and a commitment to equity, inclusion, and belonging
• Comfortable with conflict resolution, team recognition, and goal setting
• ServSafe Certification (or ability to obtain)

• Must be 18 years or older
