Read This First

We run 11 fast-paced healthy restaurants.

 

This role exists for one reason:

Nothing important slips.

Not most things. Not when it’s convenient. Nothing.

 

You will track what matters, follow up consistently, and close loops completely. If something isn’t done — it’s yours until it is.

 

This Role Is For You If…

You’re early in your career and:

  • Admin and numbers come naturally to you
  • Unfinished things make you uncomfortable
  • You follow up without being asked
  • You notice what others walk past
  • You take quiet pride in getting things done

 

You don’t need experience. You need discipline.

 

This Role Is NOT For You If…

You’ll be frustrated here if you:

  • Wait to be told what’s next
  • Avoid chasing people for answers
  • Prefer planning over doing
  • Leave things “almost done”
  • Want slow and predictable

 

This is a role for doers.

 

What You’ll Actually Do

  1. Close Loops — This Is the Core of the Job
  • Track tasks across stores: ops, stock, maintenance
  • Follow up until fully resolved — not just acknowledged
  • Keep clean, simple trackers updated daily

If it’s open, it’s yours.

 

  1. Work With Numbers
  • Review stock reports, food costs, and variances
  • Use Excel comfortably
  • Spot when something looks off and ask why

You don’t need to be technical. Just curious and consistent.

 

  1. Enforce Process — Quietly and Firmly
  • Make sure systems are followed
  • Follow up respectfully but persistently
  • Repeat if needed — without drama

You’re the quiet force behind consistency.

 

  1. Support Store Operations
  • Based at one store with occasional visits to others
  • Help managers stay on track
  • Reinforce the simple habits that drive results

 

What a Real Day Looks Like

  • Open your tracker → what’s incomplete?
  • Follow up (yes, sometimes again)
  • Investigate a number that looks off
  • Push a maintenance issue to closure
  • Help a stuck manager move forward

 

Some days are smooth. Some aren’t. That’s the job.

 

What Success Looks Like at 3–6 Months

  • Nothing important gets missed
  • Managers follow through — because you follow up
  • Problems are caught before they escalate
  • The business feels more controlled, less reactive

 

You bring structure to a busy environment.

 

Your Growth Path

Prove yourself here and doors open:

  • Operations support
  • Reporting & numbers lead
  • Area or store management

 

We grow people who execute.

 

The Bottom Line

This suits someone who gets satisfaction from finishing things, likes order, and naturally follows through.

 

If that’s you — you’ll thrive here.

If not — it will feel like pressure from day one.
