Assistant Manager

This job posting is for a position in a restaurant that is owned and operated by an independent franchisee, separate from the corporate entity of Jack in the Box Inc. This important distinction means that the independent franchisee will be your direct employer if hired, bearing full responsibility for all employment-related matters in the restaurant. These matters include hiring decisions, wages, discipline, supervision, staffing, and scheduling, offering a unique experience within the well-recognized brand framework but with localized management and operational autonomy.

As an Assistant Manager at this franchise-operated restaurant, you will play a crucial leadership role supporting the Restaurant Manager to oversee daily restaurant operations. This position is ideal for individuals passionate about the food service industry who thrive in dynamic environments and want to develop their management skills. You will be a vital part of ensuring that guests receive excellent customer service and that the restaurant runs smoothly and efficiently.

Your responsibilities will encompass recruiting, selecting, training, and developing restaurant employees to build a motivated and dedicated team. You will use management information tools to analyze operational and financial performance, identifying areas for improvement and implementing effective solutions. Acting as a strong role model, you will lead by example, demonstrating high standards for food quality, safety, and customer service. Adaptability is key in this role, as you will often be required to adjust priorities and manage multiple demands simultaneously.

Working closely with the Restaurant Manager, or autonomously in their absence, you take charge of various operational tasks that contribute to the success of the restaurant. From overseeing staff schedules to ensuring compliance with safety regulations, your leadership will directly impact the guest experience and the restaurant's overall profitability. The position requires excellent communication skills, especially in English, along with physical capability to handle some manual tasks such as lifting and carrying items weighing between 10 to 65 pounds.

Flexibility is also an essential aspect of this role, as you must be willing and able to work a flexible schedule, which may include evenings, weekends, and holidays depending on the needs of the restaurant. This role is perfect for someone who is reliable, approachable, and proactive in addressing challenges in a fast-paced, customer-facing environment. Joining this team means becoming part of a locally managed restaurant that values initiative, dedication, and teamwork while benefiting from the strength of a nationally recognized brand.
