We're a neighborhood taco stand and margarita garden built on accessibility, hospitality, and consistency; everyone deserves the joy and convenience of having a local taco stand in their community, a space that fosters a sense of togetherness through shared culinary experiences.

We're looking for an Assistant Store Manager who's ready to help lead our Algiers Point location.

A Day in the Life

As Assistant Store Manager, you'll be a trusted partner on the Algiers Leadership team — helping run day-to-day operations, supporting your team during service, and stepping in to make things happen wherever the store needs you. This is a hands‑on leadership role: you'll be in the mix during the rush, but you'll also be trusted with real decisions, real ownership, and a real path toward growth.

Customer Experience

• Keep the food, drinks, vibe, facility, and team on point — always
• Make sure every team member embodies our mission: giving every customer responsive, friendly, attentive service
• Work closely with Store Manager Team and Operations Team to incorporate feedback from customer reviews: identify trends, develop opportunities for internal improvement and initiatives, conduct 1:1s, etc.
• Keep the shop clean and ensure teamwide adherence to safety protocols and standards; pride in the space is pride in the work

Operations Management

• Act as a trusted partner to your Store Manager Team, helping run day-to-day operations with attention to detail and a focus on established checklists, recipe specs, and standardized processes
• Help manage shift schedules with an eye on business activity, so customer expectations and revenue targets are both met
• Serve as a communication bridge between internal and external stakeholders: store‑level employees, store‑level leadership, org‑wide leadership, and vendors
• Proactively identify, propose plans for, and follow through on opportunities to improve efficiency and consistency at the store level
• Support the Store Manager Team by managing inquiries, developing solutions, and helping execute internal communications and projects
• Communicate clearly and proactively to keep things transparent and address areas that need attention
