- Manage cash and POS procedures.
- Monitor inventory and assist with ordering and stock management.
- Keep the restaurant clean, organized, stocked and ready for business.
- Handle customer concerns professionally and work to resolve issues quickly.
- Help maintain strong productivity and appropriate labour levels.




- Hold team members accountable to restaurant policies and expectations in a professional and respectful manner.
- Take responsibility for restaurant operations when senior management is not present.
- Be prepared to step in and assist with food preparation, customer service, cleaning or other operational duties when required.

Who We're Looking For The ideal candidate is someone who:
- Has previous restaurant, food-service or retail leadership experience.
- Has experience supervising, coaching and developing employees.
- Is dependable, punctual and organized.
- Is comfortable making decisions and taking responsibility.
- Can confidently lead a team during busy and high-pressure periods.
- Notices what is happening around them and takes action without waiting to be told.
- Leads by example rather than simply giving instructions.
- Understands the importance of excellent customer service, cleanliness and food safety.
- Works well in a fast-paced environment.
- Has strong communication and problem-solving skills.
- Can hold employees accountable while maintaining a positive working relationship.
- Takes pride in running a clean, efficient and successful restaurant.

Experience Restaurant/Food-Service Supervisory or Management Experience: Preferred





We are willing to train the right person on Pita Pit's systems and procedures, but we are specifically looking for someone who already brings maturity, leadership ability, initiative and a strong work ethic to the position.

Ready to Lead?

We understand that working in a busy restaurant can be challenging, and pressure is part of the job.
