Job Description

Earn $60,000-$70,000 annually plus quarterly bonus opportunities while serving as the Assistant General Manager at one of Philadelphia's newest waterfront restaurant and bar concepts.

This is a true second-in-command leadership role where you'll work directly alongside the General Manager to build systems, develop people, strengthen operations, and help shape the continued growth of a young restaurant group.

You'll help lead daily operations while overseeing a team of more than 20 employees. As the business continues to grow, this role also offers the opportunity to become the onsite Private Events Coordinator with additional commission-earning potential.

If you're looking for more than simply managing shifts and want the opportunity to build something from the ground up, we'd like to speak with you.
