Job Description
Assistant Manager – High-Volume Quick Service Restaurant | $45,000–$50,000
A well-established national quick-service brand is hiring an Assistant Manager. This is a fast-paced, drive-thru-driven operation with strong, consistent volume and a team-first culture — ideal for a hands-on leader who thrives on speed, structure, and daily problem-solving.
What you'll do:
- Run shifts with full accountability for speed of service, food safety, and cash controls
- Coach and develop crew and shift leads, building bench strength for future promotions
- Manage labor and food cost targets alongside the General Manager
- Own scheduling, inventory ordering, and vendor receiving for your shifts
- Step in on the line during rushes — this is a lead-from-the-front role
- Handle guest concerns in real time and keep the daily pace on track
What we're looking for:
- 1+ years of management experience in quick-service or fast-casual restaurants
- Comfort with high ticket volume and drive-thru speed benchmarks
- ServSafe certification a plus, not required
- Someone who can motivate a young, fast-moving team and stay calm under pressure
- Open availability including weekends and closing shifts
Compensation & Benefits:
- $45,000–$50,000
- Bonus potential tied to unit performance
- Medical, dental, and vision options
- Paid time off
- Clear path to General Manager for the right performer
This is a brand with real infrastructure behind it — established systems, training, and a track record of promoting from within. If you want a high-energy shift with room to grow into bigger responsibility, this is a strong next step.
