Assistant Restaurant Manager

At Guzman y Gomez Mexican Kitchen, our mission has always been to reinvent fast-food. We’re Australia’s only fast-food restaurant to be 100% clean, meaning there are no added preservatives, artificial flavours, added colours or unacceptable additives in our food. We’re incredibly proud of our amazing people, and the unique way we celebrate Mexican culture in everything we do.

Are you a high-energy leader who loves fast-paced environments, building strong teams, and delivering great food? We are looking for a passionate Assistant Restaurant Manager to step up, lead from the front, and drive operational success at our beautiful beachside location in Manly (NSW 2095).

At GYG, we don’t just make food—we grow leaders. You will support the Restaurant Manager in daily operations, manage inventory, lead bustling service rushes, and mentor a high-performing crew. If you have a contagious smile and a team-first attitude, we want you.
