The role involves direct involvement in all aspects of restaurant operations, from compliance with federal, state, and local regulations to the oversight of routine maintenance and repairs. You will be instrumental in maintaining a safe and clean environment that promotes the well-being of both guests and team members.

Furthermore, your responsibilities include managing inventories efficiently, controlling labor costs, and driving continuous improvements through regular team training and feedback. The ability to resolve conflict, recruit and develop staff, and create a workplace culture that supports excellence and teamwork is vital.

This management role typically requires a commitment of 50 to 55 hours per week, including weekends, making it suitable for candidates who are prepared for the demands and rewards of managing a busy quick-service restaurant.
