They show an aptitude toward preventing mistakes through high awareness. They will help set the pace for the crew by maintaining high energy, positivity, and a sense of urgency.

Top assistant managers will be passionate about quality control and sustained customer satisfaction — delicious food, outstanding service, every time — achieved by working closely with the GM on effective employee training and implementation of company policies.
