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.
