Assistant Manager - Latham, NYThe Skinny Pancake | Assistant Manager | Latham, NY
Are you a handson leader who thrives in a fastpaced, peoplecentered environment? Do you love teaching, training, and working shouldertoshoulder with your team? Are you entrepreneurial by nature-someone who wants to help grow a business and share in its success? If so, we'd love to meet you.
We're looking for an Assistant Manager who is energized by daily restaurant life-not office work. This role is for someone who wants to be on the floor, coaching staff, elevating hospitality, and helping build a thriving location from the ground up.
Why This Role Is Special
- A mission with meaning: We're committed to strengthening local food systems and supporting regional producers.
- A handson leadership role: You'll spend your time on the floor-teaching, training, and leading by example.
- Entrepreneurial opportunity: Help grow a new market, build a loyal guest base, and reap the rewards of strong performance.
- Real impact: Your leadership will directly shape culture, systems, and guest experience at our Latham location.
- Support when you need it: You'll work closely with a collaborative Operations team and HR support.
What You'll Do
- Work actively alongside staff during service-coaching, supporting, and modeling great hospitality
- Train and develop team members, helping them build skills and confidence
- Support daily operations with a focus on quality, efficiency, and guest experience
- Assist with scheduling, inventory, and ordering, ensuring smooth daytoday flow
- Help build a positive, inclusive workplace culture where people feel supported and motivated
- Contribute to business growth, bringing ideas, initiative, and an entrepreneurial mindset
- Uphold our mission of local sourcing and sustainable practices
This is not a desk job. It's a role for someone who wants to be in the action, leading from the floor and helping a team succeed.
What You Bring
- 1-3 years of restaurant leadership experience (Shift Lead, Supervisor, or AGM level)
- A passion for teaching, training, and developing people
- A leadership style rooted in communication, accountability, and positivity
- Strong operational instincts-you know how to keep a restaurant running smoothly
- Comfort in a fastpaced, highvolume environment
- An entrepreneurial spirit and desire to grow with a missiondriven company
- A handson approach-you prefer being with your team over sitting in an office
What We Offer
- Competitive wage of $25 - $26.50/hour
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- Paid time off
- Staff meals & discounts
- Leadership development opportunities
- A peoplecentered culture
- Opportunities for growth within a growing local brand
