The Assistant Manager is responsible for everything that happens during a shift, including store operations, team performance, cost and inventory controls, cash handling, food management, customer relations, cleanliness, marketing, and profitability. The manager sets an example by following all policies and procedures and expects the same from the crew. The role includes supporting and developing team members, maintaining quality standards, and helping create a fun, inclusive workplace. The position offers opportunities to progress from assistant manager to general manager and potentially franchise ownership. Daily work includes operating store equipment, stocking and preparing ingredients and products, receiving and processing telephone orders, taking inventory, completing paperwork, and cleaning the equipment and facility.

The job may involve adverse weather during outside tasks, food odors, cornmeal dust, cramped spaces, hot surfaces and tools, sharp edges, and moving mechanical parts. The position involves extensive standing and reaching, along with walking, lifting and carrying supplies, pushing or pulling trays, and occasional climbing, bending, crouching, or squatting.
