Assistant Manager

You are applying for work with a franchisee of Taco Bell, not Taco Bell Corp. or any of its affiliates. If hired, the franchisee will be your only employer. Franchisees are independent business owners who set their own wage and benefit programs that can vary among franchisees.

The Job Scope includes the entire restaurant operation, including:

seriously - numerous complaints will NOT be tolerated);

paramount - violations are grounds for employment termination of ALL responsible,

including management);

• Guest and employee safety (common sense observations - no spills, hanging tiles, or

cleaning chemicals left out, etc);

are grounds for employment termination of ALL responsible, including management);

utensils and soda machines at close, checking drainage grates, checking the dining

area, replacing ceiling tiles, etc.)

• Ensuring the completion of any additional lists left by the RGM.

Managers are accountable and responsible for the entire restaurant during their shift(s),

including everything that gets accomplished and everything that does NOT get accomplished

by their employees. They MUST provide oversight and supervision of their employees - this

is whole point behind having a Manager-In-Charge (MIC). Managers are held responsible

for what their employees do (or fail to do) during their shifts.
