About The Position

Grant's Pizza House is seeking an experienced restaurant or QSR manager, or a strong shift leader ready to advance, to serve as Assistant Pizzeria Manager in Rochester, Michigan. This is a hands-on management role with real authority and responsibility from the start—not a manager-in-training position. The Assistant Manager runs shifts as manager on duty, supports the Store Manager with ordering, scheduling, and inventory, and trains and develops the crew. The role also involves building reliable operating processes so shifts can meet standards regardless of who is working. The position is part-time and focused on evenings. Dinner service is generally 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., with Friday hours of 2:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Earlier starts may be needed for preparation, new-hire training, truck days, and catering. Daytime availability is a plus but not required. The weekly schedule is posted on Saturdays for the following Monday through Sunday. Grant's Pizza House is a locally owned premium pizza business that makes dough, sauces, and cookie dough from scratch and prepares each pizza to order. The business plans to expand beyond its current store. Pay is $18.00–$20.00 per hour depending on experience, with raises tied to mastered skills and additional responsibilities. Tip-eligible shifts also receive tips, typically averaging an additional $4 per hour, for an approximate total of $22.00–$24.00 per hour. Vision, dental, and Employee Assistance Plan benefits are available to qualifying employees.
