Someone who proves they can truly organize, improve and operate the business can quickly advance toward the top of the pay range and qualify for monthly profit sharing. This is a hands-on position This is not an office-management job. You will not be sitting around watching employees or only giving instructions. You must be ready to put on an apron, get down and dirty and work beside the pizza man every day. At the beginning, the restaurant will operate with two main workers: • One experienced pizza man, • One hands-on kitchen manager and operator The business cannot currently support separate cashiers, cleaners, dishwashers, prep cooks or assistant managers. Until the restaurant grows, the person hired must personally help cook, prep, clean, wash dishes, handle customers, answer phones, pack orders and manage the daily operation.

Theft, concealed sales, intentional falsification or deliberate manipulation of records will end the employment and profit-sharing arrangement. The owner will pay for approved repairs to the restaurant and existing equipment. Approved repairs will not reduce the manager’s earned profit-share calculation. Who we need The right candidate must: • Have proven restaurant-management or kitchen-leadership experience, • Be able to cook professionally, • Be ready to work hands-on throughout the shift, • Be willing to cook, prep, clean, wash dishes and handle customers, • Be comfortable working as part of a two-person main team initially, • Understand food safety, food cost, inventory and waste control, • Be dependable, honest, organized and hardworking, • Know how to build systems instead of relying on guesswork, • Communicate firmly and professionally, • Be available for nights, weekends and busy periods, • Be physically capable of working in a busy kitchen, • Be willing to learn pizza production, • Solve problems independently, • Want a serious, long-term opportunity, • Treat the restaurant with an owner’s mindset We are not looking for somebody who plans to stay for a few months. We want someone capable of helping operate and grow this restaurant for many years. Compensation and growth Starting pay: $18–$25 per hour based on demonstrated experience and performance. • Paid working evaluation, • Applicable overtime paid, • Fast advancement available for exceptional performance, • Profit sharing is additional compensation and does not replace regular wages, • No financial investment is required from the candidate, • The owner provides the business, equipment, inventory, approved repairs and operating capital The first 60 days will be a paid evaluation and system-building period.
