Assistant General Manager (AGM)

We are looking to fill the AGM position in North Conty/San Diego city area. Sushi Lounge San Diego was founded in 2006 as a neighborhood restaurant option offering fresh and innovative sushi in a welcoming, lounge-like atmosphere. Today, Sushi Lounge has grown to three locations and our restaurants and team members have become a part of the communities they serve. Our focus is on the utmost integrity, from the way we choose our ingredients and prepare our food; to the way we treat our team members, guests and community.
