Category Specifications

A shift manager at Aver's Pizza is expected to be able to produce the first $100.00/hour in sales in the kitchen. Additional kitchen staff is added beyond this volume.

Average time out for all deliveries should be under 20 minutes when properly staffed and trained. Fewer than 1 in 10 deliveries should be older than 25 minutes when routed. Make-line times for all pizzas should average under 3 minutes. Cash over/short should be within $5.00 at the end of any shift.

Job Requirements

A prospective manager at Aver's Pizza should possess knowledge of the names of major city streets and a layout of the city to aid in routing deliveries.

Physical endurance is needed as a manager must stand for long periods of time without sitting and be able to pull hundreds of pizzas from the oven and cut and box them.

Aver's Pizza managers must be friendly, outgoing, patient, and “people persons.” An ability to manage stress, manage time, and prioritize is required as the restaurant environment is the exact opposite of an assembly line – varying from day to day, hour to hour, and resisting the formation of a comfortable routine.
