At PepperJax Grill, we're looking for Assistant Managers who lead by example, take pride in their work, and know that great restaurants start with great Crews.

This isn't a job where you sit in an office watching everyone else work. You'll be right there with your Crew, helping Crew Members succeed, delivering great food, and keeping the restaurant running smoothly.

At PepperJax, leaders lead from the floor.
