Job description

Job Description

At Guzman y Gomez, real ingredients and no shortcuts aren't just how we cook — they're how we run our restaurants and grow our people. We're growing fast, and that growth brings genuine opportunities.

As an Assistant Restaurant Manager at GYG, you'll be a leader within our restaurant, reporting to your Restaurant Manager — running inventory, building and managing rosters, taking ownership of the numbers that keep the restaurant on track, and getting hands‑on on the line when it counts, delivering our food at the highest quality in the shortest possible time.

You will support and develop your Shift Leaders and team so the restaurant runs smoothly across all opening hours, not just when you're on the floor. You'll guide the team through bustling service periods while driving crew training and guest experience.

If you're looking to progress your restaurant career, this role gives you room to grow into it and progress — working on the business, not just in it.

What's in it for me?

So much! Check out some of the benefits below:

• Competitive salary + bonus structure
• Flexible rosters and employment stability – talk to us about what work life balance means to you
• Opportunities for advancing your leadership abilities – level up to Restaurant Management and beyond
• A comprehensive training program and support to set you up for success
• Heavily discounted GYG meals
• Free and comfortable GYG uniforms and exclusive merch
• Team building activities and regular crew competitions
• Cultural celebrations including Day of the Dead & Cinco de Mayo to name a few
• We've got your back with Sonder – a comprehensive employee assistance program, here to support you and your family

We appreciate diverse experience, but specifically we are looking for candidates that have:

• Leadership experience in a fast-paced, high-energy setting, ideally leading teams of 10 or more
• Experience with rostering, inventory management and reviewing budgets
• Proven track record of delivering outstanding customer service
• Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills
• Past success in achieving and driving KPI's
