Executive Assistant to the President

Faz Restaurants Group, with multiple restaurant locations in the bay area, is looking for an individual to provide Executive Assistant support to the President/Owner. Our ideal candidate is efficient, highly organized and pays special attention to detail, is a quick thinker, smart problem solver and resourceful. Applicant should be an individual who works great independently, but also thrives in a team environment and represents the company in a courteous, efficient, and friendly manner in all customer and employee interactions to ensure customer satisfaction.

About the Role
This isn't your average desk job. You will be the right hand to an ambitious, veteran restaurant owner. We are looking for an operational and administrative powerhouse to allow the owner to focus on business vision and strategy. We are looking for an entrepreneurial and independent professional who thrives on challenge and wants to be deeply involved in the success and growth of a dynamic business. If you see processes where others see chaos and opportunities where others see problems, this is the role for you.

Key Opportunities for Impact

• Operational Architect: Develop, refine, and implement streamlined operational procedures for everything from vendor management to inventory and reporting. Your role is to build and maintain the engine that keeps the business running smoothly.
• Strategic Gatekeeper: Manage a complex, fast-paced schedule and all communications with a high degree of autonomy. You won't just answer phones—you'll triage, prioritize, and make judgment calls that ensure the owner's time is always focused on high-impact priorities.
• Problem-Solver-in-Chief: Tackle challenges before they escalate. This includes everything from resolving vendor issues to addressing operational gaps and navigating unexpected logistical hurdles. Your role is to anticipate needs and act proactively, not reactively.
• Business Intelligence Hub: Act as a central hub for information. You will research, assemble, and analyze data to prepare reports and presentations that support critical decision-making processes. You'll move beyond the "how" and inform the "what's next".
• Event and Project Lead: Take ownership of special projects and events. This could mean coordinating a marketing campaign, organizing a client dinner, or overseeing a restaurant renovation with minimal oversight. You’ll be trusted to manage all aspects from start to finish.

The Ideal Candidate

• An Independent Thinker: You don't need to be told what to do; you find what needs to be done and do it. You are resourceful, adaptable, and thrive in an environment where you are given significant responsibility and trust.
• The Ultimate Multi-Tasker: Juggling multiple, shifting priorities with exceptional organizational skills and meticulous attention to detail is your superpower.
• The Industry Insider: While not essential, a background in hospitality or the food service industry will give you a significant head start. You should have a deep understanding of the unique demands of running a successful restaurant.
• A Confidant: You handle sensitive and confidential information with absolute discretion and professionalism.
• A Tech-Savvy Pro: You are highly proficient with modern office software and have an aptitude for learning new systems to drive efficiency.

Why Join Us?
This is a high-visibility, high-impact role for someone who wants to move beyond administrative tasks and play a crucial part in the trajectory of a successful, independent restaurant. You will have direct influence on the business's efficiency and growth, with opportunities to expand your responsibilities as the business evolves. If you are ambitious and independent, and you're ready to put your strategic mindset to the test, we want to hear from you.
