Assistant General Manager - Denver, CO

Denver, CO, United States

At Call Your Mother we believe that great food is made even better with amazing service and having fun together. CYM is a neighborhood bagel shop and deli with locations in DC, MD, VA, weekly farmer’s markets throughout the DMV, and new shops in Denver, Colorado. We're looking for new team members with positive attitudes and an eagerness to learn who are as excited about good food & GOOD VIBES.

We’re hiring an Assistant General Manager

The Assistant General Manager oversees kitchen operations, front of house service, the continued development and growth of your team, and the overall profitability of your shop. The AGM is always guest-, food-, and team-focused, while being a quick thinker, a problem-solver, a skilled communicator, and a motivator. As an AGM, you will work directly with the General Manager and kitchen supervisors to ensure important responsibilities are completed and all team members are held accountable for their performance and product output through our CYM Values (“VIBES”). You will lead all team members and keep the shops buzzing – having fun while creating an incredible dining experience for our guests.

The AGM is responsible for overseeing all aspects of operations at their location during their shifts, and is the acting manager when the General Manager is not present. The AGM works directly with the General Manager to ensure daily tasks are completed and team members are fully prepared for their shifts. This role will lay the groundwork for a future General Manager. You will lead our FOH team and keep the shops buzzing – having fun while creating a great dining experience for guests.

A day in the life of an AGM at CYM:
