Assistant Manager – Growth Opportunity – Structured Schedule

St. Louis Metro Area | Competitive Pay + Bonus Potential + Health Insurance

Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop is hiring an Assistant Manager for one of our St. Louis area locations. This is a leadership role designed for someone looking to grow into a General Manager position while building real operational experience.

We are seeking dependable leaders from retail, grocery, restaurant, warehouse, banking, or similar environments who want a stable company with clear systems and advancement opportunity.

Schedule Overview:

This role includes a mix of daytime and evening shifts, with some weekends.

• Most shifts end by approximately 9:00 PM
• Some weekend availability is required
• Schedules are planned in advance
• Major holidays are closed (New Year’s Day, Easter, July 4th, Thanksgiving, Christmas)

While this role includes evenings and some weekends, it is structured and predictable compared to traditional full-service restaurant environments.

Why This Role Is Different:

• No late-night closing (typically done by 9 PM)
• Closed major holidays
• Performance-based bonus potential
• Clear path to General Manager
• Smaller, team-focused environment
• Stable, system-driven operations

What You’ll Do

• Lead shifts and supervise team members
• Support the General Manager in daily operations
• Assist with scheduling and labor management
• Maintain food quality and service standards
• Help manage inventory and ordering
• Train and develop team members
• Ensure a clean, organized, and efficient restaurant

This is a hands-on leadership role where you will work alongside your team while developing management capability.

What We’re Looking For

• 2+ years of leadership or supervisory experience (retail, restaurant, grocery, warehouse, banking, or similar)
• Strong reliability and consistent attendance history
• Ability to manage time and prioritize tasks
• Comfortable using POS systems, email, and basic computer tools
• Professional communication skills
• Desire to grow into a General Manager role

Restaurant experience is helpful but not required. We value stability, leadership ability, and accountability.

Physical Requirements

• Ability to stand for extended periods
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs when necessary
• Comfortable working in kitchen and prep environments
