The role of Assistant General Manager at Taco Bell is pivotal to the success and smooth operation of the restaurant. This position serves as the second-in-command, supporting the General Manager in all facets of daily operations to ensure the restaurant meets its performance, customer service, and financial goals.

Additionally, you will support facility maintenance and health and safety compliance to create a safe working environment.
