This particular role is that of an advanced Beginner Assistant Store Manager, working under the direction of the Store Manager. This position is designed as a learning and development opportunity, aiming for the incumbent to become proficient in all Front of House (FOH), Back of House (BOH), and management responsibilities during an initial 90-day probation period. The Assistant Store Manager is pivotal in ensuring compliance with federal and state OSHA standards, food safety, and sanitation procedures while maintaining a clean and well-organized restaurant environment. The role demands a balance of leadership, operational oversight, and hands-on daily management tasks to guarantee seamless restaurant functionality.

The Assistant Store Manager will be expected to undertake general duties such as ensuring the ongoing implementation of safety and sanitation programs, quickly addressing hazards, and updating or enforcing management policies and procedures. Operationally, the role involves regular communication and reporting to the operations team about service issues and compliance with company policies. A key focus is monitoring employee adherence to customer service standards, conducting performance evaluations, managing staffing and schedules, controlling operating costs for supplies and uniforms, and leading by example through constant adaptation to procedural changes. This position actively involves interviewing and hiring candidates who meet the required standards, providing training across FOH and BOH stations, and assuring food preparation, quality control, and proper equipment sanitation standards are maintained.

The role includes supervising essential operational functions in both Back of House and Front of House areas, such as employee training, inventory control, food quality monitoring, and cash handling procedures. The Assistant Store Manager is also responsible for maintaining documentation for deposits and invoices, attending manager meetings, and supporting company objectives through flexibility and teamwork. Strong organizational skills and the ability to motivate team members are critical, alongside proficiency with POS systems, Windows-based software, and a comprehensive understanding of food safety and alcohol service regulations where applicable.

Working conditions primarily involve indoor restaurant environments, exposure to varying temperatures associated with kitchen operations, use of chemicals for cleaning, and the physical demands of extended standing, walking, lifting, and bending. This full-time position requires availability for flexible shifts, including weekends and holidays, with potential for transfers between locations to meet the company’s operational needs. Overall, this is an excellent opportunity for individuals with a background in food service and management who seek to advance their leadership skills within a dynamic and supportive restaurant environment.
