Restaurant General Manager

This job opportunity is offered by a franchisee of Taco Bell, one of the leading quick-service restaurant brands that specializes in Mexican-inspired foods such as tacos, burritos, and quesadillas. Unlike working directly with Taco Bell Corporation or its affiliates, the selected candidate will be employed exclusively by an independent franchisee owner. These franchisees operate their own businesses, managing all aspects of their restaurant independently and setting their own wage and benefit programs, which can differ from one franchisee to another. This distinct setup allows for a more entrepreneurial work environment where managers have a significant impact on the daily operations and success of their individual location.

The franchise location for this position is situated at 2588 W. Commonwealth Ave., Alhambra, CA 91803. The restaurant is responsible for serving the local community with a commitment to customer satisfaction, delivering great-tasting food combined with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Working in this franchise means joining a team dedicated to upholding Taco Bell’s brand standards as well as adapting to meet the specific needs of their neighborhood.

The Restaurant General Manager plays a crucial leadership role as the head of the team, tasked with establishing a positive work environment and ensuring excellent customer hospitality at every interaction. As the restaurant leader, you will be accountable for the entire operation including hiring, developing, coaching, and scheduling your team effectively to provide customers with consistent quality food and service. This role demands a highly motivated individual with strong leadership skills who can build a cohesive team and implement systems that promote efficiency and teamwork.

Key responsibilities extend to overseeing the restaurant’s financial health by managing budgets and profit and loss statements, ensuring that operational goals are met. You will work closely with your staff to resolve customer issues promptly and fairly, maintaining high standards of customer satisfaction. Additionally, the role emphasizes employee development through conducting new hire orientations and creating tailored training plans that help team members grow in their roles. The ability to communicate effectively, make sound analytical decisions, and maintain a positive attitude under pressure are essential qualities for success.

This position requires a candidate with prior supervisory experience in a food service or retail environment, preferably someone who has been promoted from within, such as an Assistant General Manager. The role demands the physical ability to perform light cleaning and maintenance tasks, including sweeping, mopping, and lifting items up to 50 pounds, as well as regularly standing, walking, and stooping during shifts. The pay range offered for this opportunity is $24.00 to $28.00 per hour, reflecting the managerial responsibilities and experience required.

Working at this Taco Bell franchise offers a chance to build a rewarding career within a globally recognized brand while experiencing the unique culture of an independently operated restaurant. If you aspire to lead a dynamic team and thrive in a fast-paced environment, this General Manager position provides an excellent platform for personal and professional growth within the food service industry.
