Love Ya Work! Lead the Restaurant as a GYG Assistant General Manager. 

At Guzman y Gomez, we're on a mission to reinvent fast food, and our Assistant General Managers are the ones who build the culture that makes it all work. If you're a proven leader with a passion for developing people, delivering exceptional guest experiences, and running a tight operation — this is your next move. 

What we're looking for 

Prior experience in a management role within a high-volume, fast-paced hospitality or restaurant business is required. You know how to lead through the rush, develop the people around you, and hold a high standard without losing the energy that makes a great team. A proactive approach to leadership and a genuine passion for guest experience are non-negotiables here. Beyond the experience, bring the right attitude and real care for your crew, and you'll thrive at GYG. 

We strongly prefer candidates who are bilingual in English and Spanish — as a leader at GYG, the ability to communicate effectively across your entire team and connect with every guest who walks through the door elevates everything you do in this role. 

What you'll be doing 

As AGM, you're the GM's right hand and the team's backbone. You'll be leading the restaurant through busy service periods, driving crew training and development, proactively improving the guest experience, and supporting inventory and financial management day to day. 

But this role is about more than operations. You're helping shape the culture of your restaurant — the energy on the floor, the standards in the kitchen, and the environment your crew shows up to every day. At GYG, we believe great leaders create great teams, and great teams create remarkable guest experiences. That's what we're building, and we want you to be part of it. 

GYG is expanding across the US, and the AGM role is one of the most important pipelines into General Management. The leaders who come in now and grow with us will be the ones who define what GYG looks like in this country. 

What do you get from GYG? 

  • Salary from $65k + generous short and long term incentives 
  • Free meal every shift + 50% off when you're not working. 
  • 401(k) with up to 6% company match. 
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance (available for team members working 30+ hours/week) 
  • Referral program - Starts at $1000 for any successful person we hire! 
  • Plus a limited edition GYG hoodie for every successful referral. 
  • Flexible scheduling that actually works around your life. 
  • Exclusive GYG uniforms, tees, hoodies, caps. 
  • Great music, great people, great vibes, every shift. 
  • Managers who genuinely have your back. 
  • Real career growth! We're expanding across the US, and we promote from within. 

What skills & experience do I need to apply?  

  • Prior experience in a similar management position, ideally from within another high volume and fast-paced hospitality business 
  • A proactive approach to leadership, and a passion for developing your team 
  • A passion for creating exceptional guest experiences in your restaurant - make every guest love us! 



We're interviewing now — apply today and let's get you started. 

GYG was founded in Sydney in 2006 by New Yorkers and childhood best friends Steven Marks and Robert Hazan. Steven and Robert had a vision to build a restaurant business that had the speed and convenience of fast food but to re-invent the fast-food category by serving high quality food fast, healthy, and fresh Mexican food! From day 1, GYG’s values have not changed; It’s all about the food; Make every guest love us; Got your back; Be Real; Got you back; It’s up to us.
GYG is committed to continually building our strong company culture and employee experience by putting pride and passion into all we do while respecting and developing our crew. From the first drive thru in 2015, to menu innovations like Breakfast, the ‘Minis' range and 100% clean, skin-on fries, to a market leading app for guests to pay & order ahead and earn loyalty points, we are on a mission to reinvent the way the masses eat fast food! Today GYG operates over 230 restaurants across Australia, Singapore, Japan and here in the United States.
We would love you to consider a career with us!
