Assistant Restaurant Manager

At Southern Kitchen, we believe: “If it is to be, it’s up to me.”

That belief shapes how we lead, how we serve, and how we show up for each other.

We are seeking an Assistant Restaurant Manager who takes personal ownership of the guest experience, the energy of the dining room, and the development of the team. This is not a back‑office role. This is a visible, hands‑on leadership position for someone who understands that culture is built shift by shift.

You are successful in this role when:

• Guests leave feeling personally welcomed, valued, and eager to return.
• The dining room runs smoothly — not because you control it, but because you lead it.
• Team members improve under your guidance and feel supported, challenged, and respected.
• Problems are addressed quickly, calmly, and without blame.
• Standards are upheld consistently — even when no one is watching.
• You step in before being asked and solve issues before they escal­ate.

You understand that leadership is not a title — it is responsibility in action.

You take responsibility for every table in the building during your shift. If a guest has a concern, it’s yours to resolve. If a moment can be elevated, you create it.

You are present. You walk the floor. You engage. You set the hospitality standard.

You model professionalism, accountability, and calm confidence. You coach in real time. You reinforce expectations with clarity and respect.

You don’t wait for someone else to fix performance gaps — you step in and develop people.

You ensure shifts open strong and close clean. You protect standards for food safety, cleanliness, cash handling, and service flow.

When something feels off, you don’t ignore it — you address it.

Because if it is to be, it’s up to you.

• Leaders who are energized by being on the floor, not behind a desk
• Individuals who take initiative without being prompted
• Hospitality professionals who value accountability over excuses
• Calm problem‑solvers who elevate the room during busy moments
• Team builders who believe culture is everyone’s responsibility

• High school diploma or equivalent
• Previous restaurant leadership or supervisory experience
• Strong communication and conflict‑resolution skills
• Evening and weekend availability
• Professional, dependable, and growth‑oriented

• 401(k)
• Employee discount
• Paid training
• Leadership development opportunities

We are building more than a restaurant — we are building leaders. If you believe ownership creates excellence and that every shift is an opportunity to raise the standard, we want to meet you.

If it is to be, it’s up to me.

If that resonates, apply today.
