Assistant Manager – More Than Just Running a Shift
Location: Castlebar, Co. Mayo
Salary: €34,000–€38,000 depending on experience
Hours: Full-time preferred; part-time may be considered for the right person
You may already be supervising shifts or working as an Assistant Manager—but feel ready for more responsibility, more influence and a workplace where your ideas will genuinely be heard.
At Danolla’s, we’re not looking for someone to simply open, close and keep the shift moving. We’re looking for a strong hospitality leader who wants to make a difference—to the team, to the customer experience and to how the business operates.
Why Danolla’s?
Danolla’s is one of Mayo’s busiest and most respected food businesses, most recently crowned Best Fish & Chips in Ireland, alongside winning Ireland’s Best Chicken Fillet Burger and multiple Connacht awards.
But the awards are only part of our story.
We’ve built a close-knit team where people work hard, support one another and take real pride in what they do. We are ambitious, always looking for ways to improve and genuinely open to new ideas.
Our leadership team works together. We don’t expect one person to carry everything or have all the answers. You’ll be trusted with real responsibility, encouraged to contribute and supported to develop as a leader.
The Opportunity
This is a hands-on role in a busy diner and takeaway. You’ll lead from the floor, support the team through busy services and help keep our food, service and standards where they should be.
You’ll also have the opportunity to:
- Help develop and bring out the best in our team
- Improve how we work and introduce better ways of doing things
- Have genuine input into the day-to-day running of the business
- Grow alongside an ambitious and expanding local company
We’re looking for someone who is approachable, calm under pressure and comfortable giving direction. You’ll take pride in high standards, enjoy working with people and lead by example.
You should have at least two years’ experience in a hospitality leadership role and be confident leading a team through a busy service.
This position is not suitable for students or entry-level applicants.
