About The Position

Grant's Pizza House in Rochester, MI is seeking an experienced restaurant or QSR manager, or a strong shift leader ready for advancement, to join their team as an Assistant Restaurant Manager. This role offers real management authority and responsibility from day one, with opportunities for increased responsibility and pay as operational mastery grows. The ideal candidate possesses a keen eye for detail, noticing subtle issues in cleanliness, food preparation, and operational efficiency. This position is crucial in building a robust operation that doesn't solely rely on individual performance, aiming to elevate standards rather than just maintain them. The company emphasizes treating employees like adults and fostering a supportive work environment.

Requirements

3+ years of restaurant or QSR experience, with real time as a shift leader, assistant manager, or equivalent supervisor.
Comfortable on a pizza line — pushing out, saucing, topping, cutting — or able to pick it up fast.
An eye for detail. You notice what isn’t clean when you actually look, you notice when a crew member is drifting from how something is supposed to be made, and you address it without making it personal.
Able to direct junior crew members in a way that brings out their best, not their worst — and able to coach an underperformer without protecting them from accountability.
Interested in building the operation, not just surviving the shift — you see a slow Wednesday as a chance to reset, label, organize, and train, not just a quiet night.
Trustworthy with cash and detail-oriented at close.
Strong service-recovery instincts — when a guest is unhappy, you take it personally and you fix it.
Willing to flex on schedule: long shifts, double shifts, splits, and the occasional early start when the business calls for it.
Reliable transportation; must be at least 18.
Comparable supervisory experience in other restaurant or food service environments — full-service, QSR, or fast-casual — if you can pick up a pizza line quickly.

Responsibilities

Run shifts as the manager on duty, especially during peak rushes.
Work the line at every station — pizza, salads, wings, cut, expo, register, and curbside.
Prepare artisan pizza dough, gourmet cookie dough, and specialty sauces to recipe.
Train and develop crew — help break in new hires, and help existing crew get better at the job, not just get through their shifts.
Hold the line on standards — cleanliness, organization, food quality, and how the crew presents themselves — through busy nights AND slow ones.
Help build the kind of operation that doesn’t fall apart when the most experienced person isn’t working — labels, checklists, and simple processes that mean the next shift starts ready.
Support the Store Manager with food orders, scheduling, and inventory; over time, take on more of these as you master them.
Handle cash: drawer counts, driver cash-outs, and bank deposits.
Take ownership when something goes wrong with a guest — acknowledge it, fix it, do something extra, follow up.
Close the store cleanly, reconcile the drawer, and distribute tips at end of shift.
Pitch in across stations when the line is busy, setting the pace and keeping things moving as the manager on duty.
