About the Role

At FARE, we are on a mission to change the way America eats.

We are a fast casual restaurant concept offering a seasonally based, nutrition-forward, deliciously craveable menu. We balance healthy and indulgent options, all handcrafted from scratch in each location daily.

Born and built in Chicago, FARE is growing scratch made restaurant brand — and we’re looking for leaders who care deeply about food, people, and doing things the right way.

As an Assistant General Manager (AGM), you’ll play a key leadership role in the day-to-day operation of the restaurant. You’ll run shifts, coach team members, and ensure standards are executed at a high level. When the General Manager is not present, you’ll step in as Manager on Duty and lead the operation.

This role is ideal for a Kitchen Manager, Sous Chef, or BOH-focused restaurant leader looking to grow into a General Manager position while maintaining strong ownership of kitchen operations.

What You’ll Do

Run the Operation

Lead daily kitchen operations, ensuring prep, production, and execution standards are consistently met
Partner with the GM to drive BOH performance, throughput, and food quality
Lead shifts and ensure smooth, efficient service
Make real-time decisions on staffing, flow, and execution
Step in as Manager on Duty when the GM is not present

Develop the Team

Train, coach, and support team members on a daily basis
Reinforce standards and hold the team accountable during shifts
Support hiring efforts and help build a strong team

Own the Guest Experience

Deliver and model strong hospitality
Resolve guest issues quickly and professionally
Ensure every guest has a consistent, high-quality experience

Maintain Food & Operational Standards

Own kitchen execution, including prep systems, line performance, food quality, and daily readiness
Monitor inventory, ordering, food cost, waste, and product usage
Ensure kitchen team members are properly trained on recipes, procedures, and food safety standards
Maintain strong BOH staffing, scheduling support, and performance accountability
Enforce food safety, cleanliness, and organization
Ensure recipes, portioning, and presentation standards are met
Taste food daily to ensure quality and consistency

Support the Business

Help manage labor and control food costs during shifts
Monitor prep, waste, and product usage
Assist with inventory and learn how the business operates financially

What We’re Looking For

Strong back-of-house leadership experience required, including food production, prep systems, inventory management, and food safety compliance
Kitchen Manager, Sous Chef, Culinary Lead, or BOH leadership experience strongly preferred
FOH experience/ customer facing.
3+ years of restaurant or hospitality leadership experience
Experience leading shifts in a fast-paced environment
Ability to coach, lead, and hold a team accountable
Willingness to learn and grow into a General Manager role
Availability to work a flexible schedule (mornings, evenings, weekends)

Kitchen Focused Leadership

Serve as the primary operational leader for the kitchen
Coach and develop kitchen team members and future leaders
Ensure consistent execution of recipes, prep systems, and food quality standards
Partner with the GM to achieve labor, food cost, and operational goals

Compensation & Growth

Competitive salary based on experience
Bonus eligibility tied to restaurant performance
Clear path to General Manager role as the company grows

Schedule Expectations

Approximately 45–50 hours per week
Mix of weekdays, evenings, and weekends

Physical Requirements

Ability to stand and walk for extended periods
Ability to lift up to 40 lbs
Ability to work in a fast-paced environment

Why FARE

We’re a growing restaurant group with a focus on quality, consistency, and team development. As we expand, we’re looking for leaders who want to grow with us and take ownership of their role.
