About The Position

Join Our Team as an Assistant General Manager. Are you a proven restaurant leader who thrives in fast-paced environments, builds strong teams, and drives results wherever you go?

Growth like this means real opportunity: more restaurants, more leadership roles, and more room to move up. Training & Culture That Works: Our restaurant-level turnover sits below 50%!!! less than half the industry average. That's not an accident; it's what happens when people are developed, supported, and are a part of something great!

As an Assistant General Manager, you’ll step into a hands-on leadership role right alongside your General Manager, helping run a high-performing restaurant, coaching your team, and keeping hospitality and operations strong shift after shift. This role is a launchpad: you’ll report to your General Manager, lead the floor and the team during your shifts, and build the experience to grow into a GM role, Area/District leadership, or a position at our Restaurant Support Center.
