Company Overview

Kitakata Ramen Ban Nai is an authentic Japanese ramen restaurant with over 30 years of experience and 70+ locations throughout Japan. We pride ourselves on serving distinctive, high-quality ramen featuring hand-crumpled noodles and flavorful pork broth, showcasing the rich culinary tradition of Japan.

Summary

We are seeking a dedicated and driven Assistant General Manager to join our leadership team. This is not your typical 9–5 role—restaurant operations are fast-paced, dynamic, and constantly evolving. We’re looking for a proactive leader who thrives in a high-energy environment and is committed to delivering exceptional guest experiences. As the Assistant General Manager at Kitakata Ramen Ban Nai, you will play a vital role in ensuring the smooth operation of our restaurant. Located in the heart of Illinois (we are currently looking for positions for an upcoming location in Glenview), this position is key to maintaining our high standards of food quality and customer service while supporting the General Manager/Regional Area Manager in daily operations. As the Assistant General Manager at Kitakata Ramen Ban Nai you will oversee, direct, and coordinate the planning, organizing, training, and leadership of restaurant staff and operations necessary to achieve stated objectives in guest service and satisfaction, sales, cost control, employee retention, food quality, cleanliness and sanitation.

Responsibilities

Support the General Manager/Regional Manager in daily operations to ensure efficiency and high service standards.
Supervise, train, and coach staff to deliver excellent food and hospitality experiences.
Maintain a clean, safe, and compliant environment per health, safety, and labor regulations.
Foster a positive, productive workplace through team development, performance evaluations, and discipline when necessary.
Coordinate staff scheduling and assignments for efficient service and labor cost management.
Manage inventory levels to minimize waste and maintain optimal stock of food, beverage, and supplies.
Oversee receiving, storage, and ordering procedures to ensure quality and accuracy.
Monitor and control costs, assist with budgeting, and analyze financial performance for improvements.
Handle guest concerns and resolve complaints professionally.
Monitor food preparation, presentation, and quality; perform food tastings when needed.
Greet and seat guests, perform table touches, and assist with service during peak times.
Ensure compliance with all health, safety, sanitation, labor, and liquor regulations.
Maintain cleanliness standards across the facility and coordinate maintenance and repairs.
Maintain records required by government agencies and company policies.
Participate in management meetings and support company initiatives, mission, and values.
Develop restaurant objectives, marketing strategies, and promotions.
Use POS systems and software tools for inventory, financial analysis, scheduling, and reporting.
Forecast staffing and supply needs based on trends and events.
Fill in as needed across restaurant roles to maintain operational flow and guest satisfaction.
Coordinate with vendors and service providers for timely deliveries and facility upkeep.

Requirements

High school diploma or equivalent required; college degree preferred.
Minimum 1 year of experience in the restaurant industry; supervisory or management experience is a plus.
Proven leadership skills with a team-oriented, collaborative approach.
Strong hospitality focus with excellent customer service and communication skills (verbal, written, group).
Highly organized with strong time-management, problem-solving, and multi-tasking abilities.
Knowledge of food prep, restaurant operations, inventory control, and safety/health regulations.
Tech-savvy with basic computer proficiency, including POS systems and Microsoft Office Suite.
Able to work under pressure in a fast-paced, high-energy, team-focused environment.
Flexible availability, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
Food Handler, BASSET and Sexual Harassment Prevention (Supervisor) certifications (training provided if needed).
Physically capable of lifting up to 50 lbs, and performing bending, kneeling, and standing tasks.
Comfortable in hot kitchen environments and knowledgeable of safety procedures around equipment.

As Assistant General Manager, you will work closely with the General Manager/ Area Manager to oversee daily operations, ensure team alignment, and uphold service and quality standards. This is a full-time, salaried position that requires a high level of flexibility, dedication, and hands-on leadership. The role may involve working beyond standard hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, to meet the needs of the business. As a leader, your presence and support during peak times and critical moments are essential to ensuring team success and operational excellence. Your leadership will directly impact both team morale and guest satisfaction. We are looking for a skilled and experienced candidate who can drive profitability, maintain a high level of guest satisfaction, and can manage, train, motivate, and lead the staff with a positive demeanor. The successful candidate will have a strong background in restaurant or food & beverage business management, excellent communication and leadership skills, and a proven track record of success. Further expansion in the area is planned and opportunities for advancement are available.

If you are passionate about delivering exceptional dining experiences and ready to take your career to the next level, we invite you to apply for the Assistant General Manager position at Kitakata Ramen Ban Nai!
