Job description

We are hiring an Assistant Restaurant Manager to support the daily operations of our Peranakan and Chinese cuisine restaurants located in town. Different concepts are available, and placement will be based on experience and fit. This role is for someone who understands that an Assistant Restaurant Manager is not just “second-in-command”, but the anchor on the floor who is steady, hands-on, and accountable.

As an Assistant Restaurant Manager, you will work closely with the Store-In-Charge and kitchen team to ensure smooth daily operations, consistent service standards, and a disciplined but respectful working environment.
You are expected to be present on the floor, lead by example, and step in when things get busy and not manage from the sidelines.

Lead front-of-house service during peak periods and ensure smooth table flow
Supervise service staff, assign duties, and maintain service discipline
Coordinate closely with the kitchen on order timing, accuracy, and service flow
Handle guest interactions professionally, including service recovery when needed
Assist with manpower planning, staff scheduling, and attendance tracking
Train and guide service staff on SOPs, service etiquette, and product knowledge
Prepare and support basic operational reports (sales, manpower, service issues)
Ensure cleanliness, hygiene, and safety standards are maintained at all times
Enforce company policies fairly and consistently

What We’re Looking For

Prior experience as an Assistant Restaurant Manager or Senior Supervisor in F&B
Familiarity with Peranakan, Chinese, or Asian dining concepts
Comfortable managing a fast-paced dining floor and peak-hour pressure
Strong people management skills — firm, fair, and calm
Able to communicate clearly with both service and kitchen teams
Comfortable handling basic reporting and operational admin
Willing to work shifts, weekends, and public holidays
Someone who takes responsibility seriously and understands accountability

Why Join Us

• Multiple concepts under one growing F&B group
• Town locations with steady customer traffic
• Structured operations with room to grow
• Clear expectations and professional management
• Opportunity to step up as the business expands

If you are ready to take ownership of your role and grow with a serious F&B operation, we welcome your application.
