Job Description
A fast-growing national Japanese restaurant brand is opening a new Tucson location. We’re hiring Assistant Managers to help open it and grow with the company.
The concept combines fresh Japanese food with modern restaurant technology: a revolving sushi belt, touchscreen ordering, express delivery belts, and automated kitchen equipment. It’s fast-paced, hands-on, and built on strong systems.
What you’ll do
Lead and develop hourly team members
Run shifts and support daily operations at high volume
Work hands-on with the kitchen and production team
Keep food quality, speed and food safety standards high
Handle scheduling, staffing and administrative tasks
Support the Store Manager with overall restaurant performance
What we’re looking for
Restaurant management or strong shift leadership experience
Fast-casual or high-production background preferred (Chipotle, Sweetgreen, Chick-fil-A, Asian restaurant concepts or similar)
Comfortable on the line and in the kitchen, not just in the office
Experience coaching and developing hourly employees
Hospitality-minded, organized and quick to learn new technology
Able to travel for the 12-week training program
Why join
Competitive salary
Health insurance, 401(k) and paid time off
Shorter hours than most restaurants: most locations open around 11 a.m. and close by 9–10 p.m.
Holiday closures at some locations
Clear path to advance within a growing national brand
Apply today and help open a brand-new restaurant in Tucson.
