Located at 5128 S Rural Rd, Tempe, AZ, this position is hosted by a unique Jimmy John's franchisee known for a culture that truly cares and values its employees. Unlike typical fast food establishments, this franchisee prides itself on delivering freaky fresh sandwiches with a commitment to maintaining a clean and welcoming environment. The Jimmy John's brand is synonymous with quality and speed, often referred to as F.A.S.S.T., highlighting their dedication to Freshness, Accuracy, Speed, Safety, and Teamwork. The company emphasizes more than just quick service; they focus on providing an enjoyable workplace with competitive wages, comprehensive benefits, and ample opportunities for career progression within a fun and supportive atmosphere.

The role of Person in Charge at this Jimmy John's franchise is a pivotal leadership position responsible for overseeing restaurant operations during assigned shifts in the absence of store management. This role empowers individuals with the necessary tools and training to successfully manage staff and daily functions, ensuring the store runs efficiently and upholds the brand's high standards. The Person in Charge supervises a team typically consisting of 3 to 15 employees, managing responsibilities that extend from food preparation to inventory control and customer service.

This position demands a hands-on approach where the Person in Charge actively contributes to food preparation, including slicing, portioning, and product rotation, especially during busy rush periods. Beyond operations, this role also involves delegating tasks related to ordering, receiving, storage, and issuing of supplies, which is critical to minimizing waste and theft. Additionally, the Person in Charge assists with routine paperwork and preventive maintenance tasks to keep the equipment and store in optimal condition.

Physical stamina and the ability to perform various physical activities such as standing, walking, lifting up to 50 pounds, and other movements are essential for success in this role. The working environment includes exposure to mechanical parts and moderate noise levels, with reasonable accommodations in place for individuals with disabilities. This position offers competitive wages tied to experience and a benefits package that features PPO medical, dental, and vision coverage, paid time off, and an employee meal program.

Career advancement is a highlight of working with this franchisee. Employees in the Person in Charge position have the opportunity to grow into assistant or general manager roles, and the company offers career development programs including mentorship and support through supervisors and the HR department. Ambitious candidates can aspire to become area managers or directors of operations, making this a compelling opportunity for individuals seeking both a stable job and a path to leadership in the fast-food industry. Applicants must be at least 18 years old, willing to work overtime, holidays, and weekends, and capable of working 40 to 50 hours per week. If you’re driven to be part of a fast-growing and dynamic team, this role at Jimmy John’s Tempe franchise is an ideal career move.
