Assistant Manager - Taco John's New Ulm, MN

Where Else Can You Get Paid to Perfect Potato Olés?

Ready to spice up your career? Taco John's isn't your average fast-food gig. We're one of the largest Mexican quick-service brands in America, and we're the ONLY place on Earth serving up our legendary Potato Olés. We fry our crispy taco shells, salad bowls, and nacho chips fresh daily because quality matters to us - and it shows.

We're searching for a dynamic Assistant Manager in New Ulm, MN who's ready to be at the heart of our operation. This isn't about punching a clock; it's about leading a team, driving results, and building a career you can actually be proud of.

Why Taco John's?

At Taco John's, we pride ourselves on our bold West-Mex® flavors and our even bolder commitment to our people. Our mission? Create an energetic, supportive workplace where creativity and dedication thrive. We're talking real mentorship, genuine skills development, and a fun, family-like atmosphere where your voice is heard and your contributions matter.

We balance professionalism with personality. Hard work gets rewarded. And building lasting connections with colleagues and customers? That's what we're all about.

What Your Day Actually Looks Like

Forget the droned-out fast-food routine. As our Assistant Manager, you'll be right in the action - opening or closing the store the Olé way, connecting with customers face-to-face, and helping our General Manager lead a team of around 20 enthusiastic team members (including Shift Managers and crew).

You'll be moving, thinking on your feet, and making real decisions. From assisting with scheduling your customer service team to ensuring everyone delivers that quality food experience our customers crave, you're essential to our success. You'll coordinate activities, participate in food prep and assembly, handle financial responsibilities, and create the kind of environment where your team wants to show up and crush it every day.

Yes, working with food can get messy - but that's part of the fun! You'll also be proactive about safety, cleanliness, and helping every team member succeed in their role.

What You'll Be Responsible For

As a Assistant Manager supporting our General Manager, you'll:

Help maintain overall management responsibilities to keep the restaurant profitable, efficient, and running smoothly

Direct, coordinate, and jump into food preparation, order assembly, and customer transactions

Interview, hire, and train new team members while coordinating daily activities

Assist with planning, scheduling, budgeting, financial reporting, and inventory control

Lead by example and actively manage your team to meet budgets and build sales

The Schedule
