ASSISTANT MANAGER Established BBQ Restaurant Group | Roseville, MI

About Us We are one of the most beloved BBQ destinations in Southeast Michigan, with multiple locations across the Detroit metro area. We're known for our award-winning slow-smoked ribs, Texas beef brisket, scratch-made sides, and the kind of genuine Southern hospitality that keeps guests coming back. Whether it's a weeknight dinner, a game-day crowd, or a full-service catering event, we're where great food and great people come together.

The Role We're looking for an energetic, hands-on Assistant Manager to support our General Manager in leading day-to-day operations. This is a working management role — you'll be on the floor, in the thick of service, and an active presence for both your team and your guests. If you thrive in a high-energy, high-volume environment and love developing the people around you, this is the role for you.

What You'll Do

• Partner with the GM to oversee daily FOH and BOH operations, ensuring consistent execution of food quality, service standards, and guest satisfaction
• Lead, coach, and develop hourly team members — you'll play a key role in training and building a strong, motivated crew
• Assist with hiring, onboarding, and scheduling
• Monitor food, beverage, and labor costs to support profitability goals
• Manage opening and closing procedures, including cash handling and reconciliation
• Support inventory control and ordering as needed
• Ensure full compliance with health, safety, and sanitation standards
• Resolve guest concerns promptly and professionally
• Support catering operations and special event execution when applicable
• Step up in the GM's absence to keep operations running smoothly

What We're Looking For

• 2+ years of restaurant management or supervisory experience in a full-service or high-volume casual dining environment
• A hands-on leadership style — someone who leads from the floor, not the office
• Strong communication and team-building skills
• Experience with scheduling, cash handling, and basic cost control
• A genuine commitment to guest experience and food quality
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, high-volume setting
• POS proficiency (Aloha or similar systems a plus)
• ServSafe certification preferred

Compensation & Benefits

• $60,000 – $67,000 base salary, commensurate with experience
• Quarterly bonus plan
• Full Medical & Dental Insurance
• 401(k) with Company Matching
• 2 Weeks Paid Vacation
• Uniform & Technology Reimbursement
• Health & Wellness Reimbursement
• And more!
• 
  

If you love great BBQ, great people, and the energy of a busy restaurant — we'd love to hear from you.
