The Vibe

Are you ready to graduate from shift lead to serious leadership? As our Assistant General Manager, you aren’t just running a floor—you are learning the blueprint of running a successful business. This is a high-impact, fast-paced role designed for energetic leaders who love coaching teams, crushing goals, and creating an unforgettable vibe for our guests. Think of this as your ultimate management masterclass with a clear runway to becoming a General Manager.



Your Daily Wins


  • Drive the Business: Team up with the GM to pitch and execute fresh marketing ideas, boost sales, and hit profitability goals.
  • Master the Numbers: Get hands-on experience managing budgets, controlling food and beverage costs, and optimizing labor schedules.
  • Build Your Dream Team: Scout, onboard, and train the next generation of team members, while mentoring your current crew to unlock their full potential.
  • Own the Shift: Lead day-to-day operations with total confidence. You make the calls that keep the kitchen firing and the energy high.
  • Run the Show Behind the Scenes: Master the operational essentials—from inventory tracking and ordering to cash management and scheduling.
  • Set the Standard: Lead by example with an infectious positive attitude that sets the tone for both your crew and the local community.



What You Bring to the Table



  • The Essentials: You are 18+, have a High School diploma/G.E.D., and possess (or can grab) a Food Handler Card.
  • The Track Record: You have 1–3 years of restaurant or customer service management experience. You’ve already proven you can handle a shift, and you're hungry for more responsibility.
  • The Tech & Communication Skills: You are comfortable with tech essentials (Word, Excel, Outlook) and know how to communicate clearly, resolve conflict smoothly, and keep a team motivated.
  • The Grit: You are ready to crush a dynamic weekly schedule (including nights and weekends). You thrive on your feet, love a high-energy environment, and can lift up to 40 lbs when stocking up.
