Join Del Taco in Reno,NV,USA as a Restaurant Manager-Quick Hire!

This job opportunity is with an independently owned and operated restaurant franchise of Del Taco. Unlike corporate-owned locations, this franchise is managed by an independent franchisee who is solely responsible for all employment-related aspects. This includes decisions regarding hiring, firing, wages, staffing, scheduling, discipline, and overall management of the restaurant workforce. Therefore, anyone hired for this role will be employed directly by the franchisee, not Del Taco LLC. The establishment operates within the fast-casual dining sector, focusing on delivering quality Mexican-inspired food through operational excellence and customer service. The opening is for a Restaurant Manager role reporting directly to the Area Director. The Restaurant Manager holds a pivotal leadership position entrusted with protecting and promoting the Del Taco brand by delivering exceptional customer experiences and fostering a culture strong in teamwork and fun. Key responsibilities include recruiting, hiring, and retaining top talent to ensure the store is fully staffed with qualified team members. The manager is expected to maintain team certification compliance and create a service-oriented culture that supports employee growth and development. This role demands a continuous commitment to brand standards adherence—the "Del Taco Way"—which means maintaining the facility, ensuring food quality, observing cleaning protocols, and managing uniforms and signage effectively. In addition to operational excellence, the Restaurant Manager must drive sales growth and customer loyalty by setting and communicating clear sales goals and ensuring optimal staffing aligned with expected demand. Implementing and executing marketing promotions, monitoring the local competition and trade area, and adhering to speed and service standards form an integral part of the sales strategy. Financial stewardship is another critical component, requiring the manager to control labor costs, manage inventory accurately to minimize waste and theft, and safeguard cash handling procedures. This role also involves oversight of health, safety, and maintenance standards while managing vendor relationships to reduce repair and supply expenses. Candidates should expect a dynamic and rewarding environment that involves both office and restaurant settings, requiring physical stamina for extended periods of standing and occasional lifting. Travel within the assigned area, including overnight stays, may be necessary, and a valid driver's license with proof of insurance is mandatory. Overall, this position is suited for a highly motivated, organized, and detail-oriented leader with experience in the quick-service restaurant industry who is passionate about driving business results while nurturing a positive team environment. The role emphasizes continuous improvement, accountability, and adherence to policies that protect the brand and customers. Working at this independent Del Taco franchise offers the opportunity to lead a vibrant team and make a direct impact on the success and growth of the restaurant within the local community.
