An Assistant Restaurant Manager will help with hiring staff such as servers, cooks and dishwashers & creating standards of job performance for these new hires. They will monitor the quality of food, service and presentation in the restaurant, and they will coach employees so as to enhance guests’ experiences at the restaurant. At the busiest times, they will take on any task in the restaurant, whether cooking, serving or cleaning. They will handle high-stress situations calmly and with good judgment to please customers and keep staff focused on their daily goals. They will need to handle food supply orders, scheduling of staff, payroll and the overall budget. They will have the experience and business savvy to efficiently handle all aspects of day-to-day restaurant work. They will need to be comfortable working in the kitchen or waiting tables if a busy day requires it. They will need previous experience in other restaurant jobs, such as a server, chef, bartender or waiter, so they know how to hire and train employees and help them meet high standards of service and food safety. They should hold a ServSafe Food Protection Manager Certification or have related hospitality and restaurant management certifications. Additionally, skills such as supervisory tact and communication can create a strong management-employee bond and improve employee retention, so at least two years of experience managing others in a supervisory or management role will also be required.
