ABOUT THE ROLE

The Assistant General Manager is the General Manager's right hand and a hands-on leader on the floor. You'll help run every part of the restaurant, front and back of house. That means building and coaching the team, managing costs, protecting our standards, and making sure every guest leaves happy. When the GM is away, you're in charge. For the right person, this role is a strong step toward General Manager.

• Recruit, hire, onboard, and train team members to Lynora's standards

• Coach and develop the team, and address performance issues promptly and fairly

• Build weekly schedules that match sales forecasts and control labor costs

• Monitor food, beverage, and labor costs, and help hit sales and profitability goals

• Manage inventory, ordering, receiving, and waste tracking with kitchen leadership

• Ensure compliance with company policies, accurate timekeeping and payroll, and labor laws

• Keep team member certifications current (Food Handler, alcohol service)

• Handle guest concerns professionally and turn them into positive experiences

• Coordinate private events and large parties with our events team

• Oversee opening and closing procedures, cash handling, and deposits

• Keep the GM and leadership informed on staffing, operations, and guest feedback

• Model the hospitality, energy, and work ethic we expect from every team member

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 2+ years of restaurant management experience (AGM, Kitchen Manager, or FOH Manager), with full-service or Italian experience a plus

• Strong working knowledge of both front and back of house operations

• Proven ability to lead, motivate, and develop a team

• Comfort with labor management, P&L basics, inventory, and cost control

• Experience with Toast POS or similar restaurant systems preferred

• ServSafe Manager certification, or the ability to obtain it within 30 days of hire

• Flexible availability, including nights, weekends, and holidays

• A calm, organized, solutions-focused approach under pressure

• Ability to stand for extended periods and lift up to 50 lbs

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

• Salary: $65,000 to $73,000 per year, based on experience

• Health insurance with a company contribution toward premiums (eligible after 30 days)

• Dental and vision coverage available

• 401(k) retirement program

• Paid time off

• Dining discounts and perks across Lynora's locations
