Our goal with this post is to let you know more specifically about our company, this opportunity, and where a successful candidate could grow with us. We’re not for everyone but we would like you to get a snapshot of what the Governor’s experience might look like for you.

Our Company - Governor’s Restaurant & Bakery is a family owned and operated restaurant chain with 6 full service restaurants in the state of Maine. We’ve been around since 1959. We believe in providing a safe, friendly work environment for our team members to work and grow. Sometimes things in a restaurant can get a little hectic and stressful, but our leadership teams try to keep things laid back as much as possible. We really try to create a family-like culture and environment for our teams. If you ask most of our managers, they would tell you what sets us apart is we go above and beyond to help our team members as much as we can.

The Job - In this position you will support the GM by leading the shifts, scheduling, hiring, holding team members accountable to company policy and service standards, working side by side with the team to deliver a high level of guest service. This is a full time position, with a somewhat flexible schedule, however night and weekend availability is a must.

What it takes- In this position you will work with our GM to lead the team to success, and work with the entire team to make the restaurant function at a high level. This requires organization, communication skills, and the ability to see the vision of making our restaurant a great place to dine and work at.

Pay - The Assistant Manager role is an hourly employee, with at least 5 hours of guaranteed overtime per week. You will also have the opportunity to earn bonus pay as the restaurant is financially successful.

Opportunities - Our goal is to teach you how to successfully run a business, so that you might move into an open General Manager position either with us in the future, or at a different company down the road. We also offer leadership development opportunities and one on one training to reach this goal. We know this doesn't happen overnight, like a great loaf of bread it takes time to bake to completion.

If we agree that it could be a good fit for you and us, we would invite you to interview with one of our management team members. At that point we would try to answer any questions you may have. If we ultimately decide based on that conversation that you might be a good fit with us and offer you a position, we would schedule an onboarding meeting for you to come in, meet some team members, and fill out tax, payroll, and policy paperwork. You would then receive a training schedule. If at any point you have any questions or concerns with the onboarding process we ask that you communicate with us so we can answer any questions to the best of our ability.
