Assistant Restaurant Manager

About Nixta

Nixta Mexican Grill and Bar is a modern Mexican grill with a serious agave bar. We press our tortillas in-house from nixtamalised corn and cook over the grill, with a tequila- and mezcal-led cocktail list behind it. It’s loud, warm and generous. We take the food and the agave seriously; we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We’re growing the team and looking for people who feel the same way.

Role: Assistant Manager, Front of House
Location: Nixta Mexican Grill and Bar, Singapore · Reports to: Restaurant Manager · Type: Full-time

The role. Second-in-command of the venue. You run shifts, lead the team, and own the day-to-day numbers and standards alongside the Manager — with genuine scope to grow as the group opens its next venue.

What you'll do

• Lead full services as duty manager — set the tone, drive the standard, own the guest experience
• Manage, coach, and roster the FOH team; lead briefings and ongoing training
• Own daily operations: cash management, banking, end-of-day reporting, opening/closing
• Support cost control — labour, stock, wastage, and beverage margin
• Help drive the floor's contribution to the wine program and average spend
• Handle escalated guest issues, supplier touchpoints, and compliance (food safety, licensing, workplace safety)
• Deputise for the Manager and contribute to recruitment and team-building

What we're looking for

• 3–5 years' F&B experience with at least 1–2 years in a supervisory or assistant-management role
• Proven floor leadership, people development, and a track record of holding standards
• Commercial awareness — comfortable with rosters, labour cost, P&L basics, and stock
• Solid wine knowledge or strong commitment to building it (WSET an advantage)
• Calm, organised, and credible with both team and guests

The shift reality. Full-time with rotating shifts including evenings, weekends, and public holidays; duty-manager responsibilities.

What you get. $3,500–$3,800/month + tips share + AWS + tenure bonus + staff meals + uniform allowance + medical allowance + CPF + structured development and genuine progression within a multi-concept group.
