Assistant Manager – Shift Operations (Hands-On Role)

The Dough Shed Pizzeria | West Jefferson, NC


We’re hiring a strong, dependable leader to help run shifts at The Dough Shed Pizzeria.


This is a hands-on leadership role focused on running the shift—not a back-office management position.


If you’re someone who can keep things moving, stay organized, and support a team in a fast-paced environment, this is a great fit.


What You’ll Do


  •  Lead shifts and keep operations running smoothly 
  •  Direct team members and maintain strong flow during busy periods 
  •  Handle customer questions and resolve issues professionally 
  •  Jump in wherever needed (kitchen, front, prep) 
  •  Keep the restaurant clean, stocked, and organized 
  •  Communicate directly with managers and carry out direction during each shift 
You are the go-to leader on shift, working closely with management


What This Role Is (and Isn’t)


This is a leadership role focused on operations.


You will NOT be responsible for:


  •  Food ordering 
  •  Staffing 
  •  Scheduling 
Your focus is simple: run a smooth, efficient shift and lead the team well while working under the direction of management


What We’re Looking For


  •  Previous restaurant experience (leadership preferred) 
  •  Reliable, steady, and able to stay calm under pressure 
  •  Strong communication and problem-solving skills 
  •  Willing to lead by example and stay involved 
Not a Fit If You


  •  Prefer to stand back instead of staying hands-on 
  •  Struggle in fast-paced environments 
  •  Need constant direction 
Why This Role Works


  •  Clear expectations—no back-office management stress 
  •  Strong, team-focused environment 
  •  Opportunity to grow into more over time 
Pay & Schedule


  •  Pay based on experience 
  •  Full-time position 
  •  Schedule will mainly include afternoon, evening/dinner shifts, and weekends
