We are currently seeking a talented Assistant General Manager who will be an essential part of our leadership team.

This role is critical in maintaining the high standards of food quality, safety, and guest experience that PURAlIMA is known for.
The Assistant General Manager will act as a mentor, coach, and role model for all employees, inspiring teams through leadership and a deep understanding of restaurant operations. This position requires a hands-on approach, with responsibilities ranging from managing catering orders with precision to ensuring equipment maintenance and cleanliness throughout the establishment. Attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and an ability to resolve conflicts professionally are paramount.
At PURAlIMA, growth is a priority, and the AGM role is designed for individuals with leadership potential who aspire to advance within the company and eventually manage their own PURAlIMA location. With a competitive pay range of $20.00 to $24.00 per hour and full-time employment with flexible scheduling, this position offers a rewarding opportunity for career advancement in the restaurant industry.
The Assistant General Manager will work to cultivate a positive work environment where team members feel valued and motivated to reach their full potential. From recruitment and hiring to performance management and ongoing training, the AGM plays a pivotal role in developing future leaders and maintaining a high-performance culture. Furthermore, this individual will be responsible for overseeing inventory, controlling costs, and minimizing waste to maximize operational efficiency and profitability.
