• Secure the restaurant and follow proper closing procedures when assigned.
• Maintain a professional presence and lead by example throughout the shift.

• Ability to confidently direct and hold hourly employees accountable.
• Dependable, punctual, and willing to lead by example.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who doesn't need the title of "manager" to take ownership of a shift. The right person is confident enough to give direction, willing to jump in wherever needed, and understands that leadership in a restaurant means working alongside the team—not standing over them.

This position is ideal for someone who has restaurant experience and is ready to take on more responsibility without stepping into a full management role.
