• Grow sales through local outreach, marketing, networking, and staff incentives that raise guest check average.
• Keep the General Manager informed of sales performance and key operational issues.
• Ensure all financial and personnel/payroll administrative duties are completed accurately and on time.
• Enforce sanitary food‑handling and cleanliness practices; ensure compliance with operational standards and all applicable health, safety, and local regulations.
