Dog Haus Biergarten - Assistant General Manager

Dog Haus Biergarten isn't your average restaurant gig. We serve gourmet hot dogs, elevated sausages, burgers, chicken, and plant-based options alongside our renowned Bad-Ass Breakfast Burrito concept - all backed by a full bar featuring Haus cocktails and craft beer in a Biergarten environment. We take the operation behind it just as seriously as the food in front of it.

We're a locally and family-owned multi-unit franchise group growing in the Valley, and we're looking for an Assistant General Manager who is ready to run a real operation - not learn what management is. If you're coming from a GM role in a fast food or QSR concept and want to step into something with more complexity, or you've built serious AGM experience and are ready to take on more, this role was written for you.

Dog Haus has been named to Fast Casual's Top 10 Movers and Shakers list since 2020 and is a Franchise Times Top Brand to Buy. Our Arizona franchise group has earned Operator of the Year, Marketer of the Year, and Business Leader of the Year recognition - and we're just getting started in the Valley.

What you'll own

You'll operate alongside your GM with full visibility from our District Manager - running the shift, leading the team, and owning your areas of the business day to day. That means:

• BOH and FOH operations - you're present, not just supervising
• Scheduling, labor management, and shift execution
• Recruiting, training, and developing your team
• Inventory management and ordering support
• Health, safety, and compliance standards
• Customer experience and guest recovery
• Supporting P&L awareness and operational performance

What we offer

• $48,000 - $60,000+ annually, commensurate with experience
• Structured schedule: five tens - while most restaurant managers are grinding 65+ hour weeks, our AGMs work a structured schedule with real days off. But make no mistake, this is a floor-level leadership role. You're in it daily, running shifts and developing your team in real time.
• You'll be present and hands-on the majority of your shift - this isn't a back-office role. You lead from the floor, build your team through daily reps, and own the operation while you're on.
• Health insurance
• Paid time off - and we actually mean it. We have high standards and we expect a lot, but we believe in giving our team the tools, support, and rest they need to perform at that level long-term. Burning people out isn't a strategy.
• We promote from within. We don't hire strong AGMs to keep them AGMs - we hire people who are built for more and invest in getting them there.
• Direct working relationship with your GM and visibility to our District Manager - and ownership that has actually worked in restaurants. When you have a problem, the people above you have lived it.

What we're looking for

• Proven experience as a GM or senior AGM in a high-volume restaurant environment
• Strong BOH and FOH operational knowledge
• Leadership and team development track record - you've built teams, not just managed shifts
• Comfort with scheduling, labor, and operational metrics
• Excellent communication and problem-solving skills
• Basic computer proficiency
• This is a floor-level leadership role, and the floor runs hardest at nights and on weekends. That's where you'll be - and if you're the right candidate, that's where you want to be.

Bonus points if you bring:

• Experience with third-party delivery platforms
• Bar management or craft beer knowledge
• Local area marketing or social media experience
• New restaurant opening experience

Join #TheAbsoluteWurst team. It's a real job, a real culture, and a real opportunity to grow with a brand - and a franchise group - that's just getting started in the Valley.
