Anna’s Taqueria is looking for an Assistant Restaurant Manager to oversee the day-to-day operations of one of our restaurants. Assistant Restaurant Managers report directly to the Restaurant Manager. They deal directly with customers and employees and are responsible for a diversity of duties that include employee management, food production, and record keeping.
For Anna’s, restaurant managers are more than just the brains behind the daily operation of the restaurants; he/she is a leader, peacekeeper, public relations expert, and quality control specialist who keeps the restaurant(s) profitable and running smoothly. This job is fast-paced and varied—a perfect combination for an individual with business sense and boundless energy.

Social Intelligence – In your management position, working with people has the potential to be one of the most rewarding—and challenging—parts of your daily life. Whether you’re giving directions to employees, diffusing potentially tense situations with difficult customers, or representing Anna’s to the public, you’ll need to be able to communicate well with others to accomplish our goals.
Organizational Skills – Our restaurant has a lot of moving parts. Coordinating everything and keeping it all functioning without a hitch will take attention to detail and a commitment to organization.
Decision-Making Ability – As the senior restaurant manager you’ll need to make a lot of decisions—because our restaurants are so fast-paced, you’ll need to be able to think on your feet and make quick, practical decisions. You’ll also need to think strategically and make long-term business decisions based on your experience and market knowledge.
Entrepreneurial Business Sense – Though you’ll need to perform the everyday administrative tasks to keep the business running, you will need to approach the whole of the business with an entrepreneurial mindset and spirit. With your growing business and market experience you will be able to see new ideas and opportunities in all facets of the business and be willing to take risks to develop them
