- You develop your team through regular feedback, training, team meetings, and a strong eye for individual strengths
- You create staff schedules, manage inventory and purchasing, and keep key metrics and the budget in view
- You ensure smooth operations and pitch in yourself — whether at the fryer, during goods receipt, or in guest contact
- You hire new team members and ensure a respectful, motivating onboarding process
