Assistant Manager

At PepperJax Grill, an Assistant Manager isn't someone who stands on the sidelines and tells everyone else what to do.

You're in it with your team.

You'll help lead the restaurant, develop people, deliver a great guest experience, and make sure we're doing things the right way—even when it's busy, the line is full, and everybody needs something at once.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who wants more than another restaurant management job. We want people who want to learn the business, develop a team, take real ownership, and keep growing.

If that sounds like you, we'd like to meet you.

We want PepperJax to be a place where good people can build something.

You'll work alongside your General Manager and restaurant leadership team while developing the skills to take on greater responsibility. You'll have opportunities to coach employees, make decisions, solve problems, and learn what it takes to successfully lead a restaurant.

Our Core Values aren't supposed to be words hanging on a wall. They're how we expect our leaders to operate:

You don't need to have everything figured out on Day One. But there are some things we can't teach.

We're looking for someone who:

• Naturally takes ownership instead of waiting for someone else to fix things.
• Likes developing people and helping others get better.
• Can give clear feedback and have accountable conversations.
• Keeps their composure when the restaurant gets busy.
• Notices when standards start slipping and does something about it.
• Understands that leadership means jumping in, not just giving directions.
• Can balance taking care of people with delivering results.
• Wants feedback and is interested in continuing to grow as a leader.
• Gets what restaurant leadership requires, genuinely wants the responsibility, and has the capacity to handle it.

That's our version of finding the right person for the right seat.

You must be 18 or older and able to work a full-time restaurant leadership schedule, including a mix of opening, closing, mid, weekend, and other shifts based on the needs of the restaurant.

Previous restaurant leadership experience is strongly preferred. We're especially interested in people who have experience leading shifts, coaching employees, maintaining operational standards, and working in a fast-paced restaurant environment.

You'll also need reliable transportation and the ability to travel to another restaurant when business needs require it. This position requires successful completion of applicable background and motor vehicle record checks.

The job is active and hands-on. You'll regularly stand and move throughout the restaurant and may need to bend, reach, kneel, twist, push, pull, and lift or carry up to 50 pounds.

Working at PepperJax comes with more than a title.

Full-time team members have access to benefits including:

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Paid time off
• A free meal during your shift
• Holiday closures
• 401(k) with employer match after one year for eligible employees age 18+
• Training and leadership development
• Opportunities to grow within PepperJax and Weis Restaurant Group

And if you want to keep moving, Assistant Manager doesn't have to be the finish line.

Our restaurant leadership path can take you from:

We want to develop leaders who are ready for what's next.

If you care about people, aren't afraid to work hard, take pride in doing things right, and want the opportunity to become a stronger restaurant leader, we'd like to hear from you.
