We’re seeking an Assistant General Manager (AGM) who’s ready to take the next step in their leadership journey. This is an ideal opportunity for a rising hospitality leader with a passion for service and beverage excellence to step into a high-impact role and help shape the next chapter of a flagship concept.

What You’ll Do
As AGM, you will partner closely with the General Manager to lead daily operations, drive team culture, and champion service standards. You’ll also take primary ownership of the beverage program—ensuring it is well-executed, cost-effective, and aligned with the guest experience.

You will:

  • Lead daily floor operations with a strong, visible presence—supporting service, coaching in real time, and elevating the guest experience

  • Ensure operational excellence through labor management, cleanliness, service timing, and guest recovery
     
  • Collaborate with the Executive Chef and restaurant leadership to execute seasonal promotions, events, and menu launches
     
  • Monitor key performance metrics and contribute to continuous improvement across the restaurant
     
  • Champion clear communication between departments and model a collaborative, solutions-oriented mindset
     
  • Act as an extension of the GM and a leadership presence in their absence
     

Who You Are

  • A hospitality-first leader with 3–5+ years of restaurant management experience, including beverage oversight
     
  • Passionate about beverage, with working knowledge of wine, cocktails, and cost management
     
  • Experienced in fast-paced, high-volume service environments, ideally in upscale casual or chef-driven concepts
     
  • Known for your presence on the floor, strength in team leadership, and ability to balance service with operations
     
  • Comfortable navigating systems like inventory, scheduling, and training programs
     
  • ServSafe Manager and RBS (Responsible Beverage Service) certified, or able to obtain upon hire
     
  • Bilingual in English and Spanish a plus
     

Role Expectations

  • Full-time, exempt position requiring availability on evenings, weekends, and holidays
     
  • Must be able to stand for extended periods and lift up to 40 lbs
     
  • On-site role built on visibility, consistency, and real-time leadership
     

Compensation & Growth
This full-time, exempt leadership position offers a competitive salary range of $85,000–$95,000, plus performance-based incentives and a comprehensive benefits package.
