Assistant Manager
Zizzi Assistant Managers have a big role to play. When the General Manager is away, you are in charge – running shifts, managing the team, giving great feedback, and ensuring your team bring our culture and values to life. Live and breathe the key ingredients of the Zizzi customer service journey and coach your team to do the same. Become an expert in our menu – Italian food is at the heart of what we do, and you will ensure that only perfect plates of food leave your kitchen. Support the General Manager to smash financial targets and monitor business performance. Take responsibility for ensuring the restaurant is always looking fabulous. All of this is carried out through the Zizzi Values – a framework that guides everything we do.
- Growth – Aim to be better than yesterday, constantly improving as a team, in our business, and in our contributions to the world.
- Individuality – Celebrate differences and encourage everyone to be the best version of themselves.
- Drive – Make it happen, adapt to challenges, avoid shortcuts, and motivate others to strive for more.
- Togetherness – Be part of a team that always has each other’s backs, embracing challenges and celebrating success alike.
- Fun – Enjoy everyday moments; we take our goals seriously but don’t take ourselves too seriously.
