WHAT DOES A TYPICAL DAY LOOK LIKE?:


RESPONSIBILITIES

As our Assistant General Manager, you'll be a seat on the management team. These are the results you'll be hired to accomplish:


» ① Develop a High-Performing Dining Room Team

You'll train and mentor a front-of-house *dream team* with very hands-on, side-by-side coaching every shift. Every day, you’ll be in the thick of it - teaching your team to master steps of service, sharpening their menu knowledge, and giving on-the-spot feedback to help them grow a little bit more every day. 


» ② Deliver ‘Good-Time’ Hospitality, Every Time

From the first hello to the last thank you, you'll make sure that every guest experiences our good-time hospitality, every time.


» ③ Smooth Day-to-Day Operations

You'll ensure the day-to-day operations run smooth like *butta*. And when sh*t inevitability hits the fan? You're there, sleeves rolled up, ready to help.


» ④ Real-Time Staffing & Labor Cost Control 

You'll ensure that every shift is staffed 'just right'. Not too many people, but not too few either - just the right amount to make magic happen, without breaking the bank.


» ⑤ Ready-to-Show Dining Rooms

You'll lead the charge to make sure our dining rooms are presentable, so fresh, and so clean clean.


*As a disclaimer*: This is a dynamic position, in a rapidly growing company, in an always-changing industry. That means that this position and its responsibilities will continue to evolve. So, if you're change-adverse, this job ain't it.


That being said - if you're good with change, and are willing to try new things - you'll love this job, and it'll love you right back.



PAY

The total compensation for this position will be between $60000 - $70000 per year. Base salary depends on relevant experience, and quarterly bonus potential is based on sales, profitability, and completion of special projects.



WORK SCHEDULE

This position is full-time and salaried, with a semi-set schedule that allows for flexibility. Days off are typically back-to-back. Our Assistant General Manager will work 5 days, and typically 45-ish hours per week.


WILL YOU FIT IN HERE? 

Our team has been built - brick by brick - on shared core values. And no, they’re not just bullsh*t words slapped on a wall - they’re who we are at our core - and they’re non-negotiables for working here. You’ll feel super *comfy* and right at home if these words describe you:


» You Come With Batteries Included

You’re a high-energy self-starter who jumps into action, and doesn’t need hand-holding to get things done.


» You’re Scrappy

You’re a resourceful problem solver who makes things happen; if there’s no door, you get in through a window.


» You Take Your Work Seriously

You take pride in your work, big and small, and you have a natural reflex to do things the *right* way.


» But, You Don’t Take Yourself Too Seriously

You’re a positive team player who’s quick to laugh at your own mistakes, open to feedback, and humble about your wins.


And if these words *don’t* describe you? You’ll be decidedly *uncomfy* here. So, fair warning - If you’re a cranky a** problem-bringer who’s cool being super-mid at your job and needs constant hand holding… may we suggest… working literally anywhere else?
