Job Overview
When you join the Steak Escape and Slices Now! team, you become part of a family with a heart for service and hospitality. We take a handcrafted approach to delivering truly delicious food—preparing everything by hand and cooking right in front of our guests, which means you are always on stage!
We are currently seeking a Working Assistant Manager to lead by example. This is not a desk job. We need a leader who thrives in the fast-paced action of the kitchen, isn't afraid to get their hands dirty, and will work right alongside the team during rushes. You will be the backbone of our operations—running a station, jumping in where help is needed, and ensuring every plate that leaves our window meets our high standards.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead from the Front: Act as the shift leader by working side-by-side with crew members on the line. You will be expected to master and rotate through all stations—grill, cashier, prep, fry, and expo—while setting the pace for the team.
- Hands-On Service: Greet customers, take orders, and resolve any guest concerns with a smile. You are the on-the-floor manager ensuring every experience is memorable.
- Culinary Excellence: Prepare food items according to established recipes and stringent food safety standards, ensuring quality and consistency during every shift.
- Administrative Support: Assist the General Manager with behind-the-scenes duties including:
- Creating and managing shift schedules.
- Conducting weekly inventory counts and tracking food costs.
- Placing and receiving truck orders to ensure we are always stocked.
- Assisting with cash handling, deposits, and end-of-day paperwork.
- Training & Development: Coach and mentor new team members on proper procedures, safety protocols, and our "cook in front of you" hospitality style.
- Sanitation & Safety: Enforce rigorous cleanliness and sanitation standards for all work areas, equipment, and dining spaces.
Qualifications
- Previous supervisory or shift lead experience in a quick-service restaurant (QSR) or fast-casual environment is required (other experience may qualify).
- Proven ability to multitask in a high-volume, fast-paced setting while maintaining attention to detail.
- Basic math skills for inventory management, cash handling, and transaction reconciliation.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to motivate a team, provide feedback, and de-escalate stressful situations.
- Familiarity with food safety practices (ServSafe certification is a plus, Food Handler's is required, but we will provide training).
- Must be available for a variety of shifts, including weekends holidays.
- Physical ability to stand for extended periods, lift up to 50 lbs., and perform the physical tasks associated with food preparation and service.
Compensation & Benefits
- Pay: $15.00 - $17.00 per hour (based on experience).
