POSITION: ASSISTANT GENERAL MANAGER

OVERVIEW

We're on the lookout for a passionate, experienced, and hospitality-focused Assistant General Manager (AGM) to join our leadership team! This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, leads by example, and is driven to elevate both team performance and the guest experience.

As AGM, you'll play a vital role in the day-to-day success of the restaurant — supporting operations, driving service excellence, and developing a high-performing team.

Our team is the heart of our business, and your impact will help shape a culture rooted in respect, growth, and hospitality.

This is one of the top-performing Chop Steakhouse locations in Canada — known not only for its industry-leading results but for its vibrant, high-energy service culture. While our chef-driven, globally inspired menu showcases the best in culinary craftsmanship, it's our people who bring it to life. Our front-of-house and culinary teams work in unison to create exceptional guest moments, grounded in warmth, detail, and pride.

If you're ready to grow with an industry leader, build lasting team connections, and deliver experiences that make a difference — we'd love to connect.

This role offers a direct path to elevate your leadership, operational, and hospitality skills in an environment that values innovation, excellence, and team development. You'll gain firsthand experience working alongside industry leaders who are committed to shaping the next generation of hospitality professionals — all while contributing to a dynamic, guest-focused culture that consistently delivers outstanding results.
