Description

We are looking for a passionate Assistant Store Manager who can help us create exceptional dining experiences at our new Greenwich fresh pasta store and restaurant. We won’t just be cooking and serving our customers the freshest pasta in town, but opening doors to one of the coolest locations in town.

Picture this: chefs making fresh pasta in the store window, playing Italian funk and jazz, the aroma of ragù, in-store pasta making classes, delivery on terracotta Vespas, and more.

As Assistant Store Manager, you’ll lead by example, overseeing operations during your shift and fostering a positive environment where our passion for authentic Italian cuisine shines. We want to hear from passionate, confident, charming candidates who enjoy engaging with customers and being part of our innovative pasta concept in Greenwich.

10. Handle cash transactions accurately and honestly.
11. Assist in budget planning and cost control.
12. Conduct regular health and safety checks and address issues promptly.
13. Maintain a positive atmosphere during busy shifts.

Who you are:

1. Experienced in a similar hospitality role, with strong restaurant management skills.
2. A natural leader with motivating skills.

5. Passionate about good food and hospitality.
6. Detail-oriented and committed to excellence.
7. Team player who supports and motivates others.
8. Eager to grow with us as we expand.
9. Bonus: experience with coffee, wine, or pasta is a plus, but enthusiasm is key.

• Competitive salary
• Dynamic, diverse team environment
• Team socials and pasta tastings
• Free Pasta Evangelists products
• Referral bonus scheme
• Cycle to work scheme
• Opportunities for growth within the company
