Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop is hiring an Assistant Manager for one of our St. Louis area locations. This is a leadership role designed for someone looking to grow into a General Manager position while building real operational experience.
We are seeking dependable leaders from retail, grocery, restaurant, warehouse, banking, or similar environments who want a stable company with clear systems and advancement opportunity.

• Most shifts end by approximately 9:00 PM
• Some weekend availability is required
• Schedules are planned in advance

• Strong reliability and consistent attendance history
• Ability to manage time and prioritize tasks
• Comfortable using POS systems, email, and basic computer tools

Restaurant experience is helpful but not required. We value stability, leadership ability, and accountability.
