Restaurant Distribution jobs

About Us

The Narrow Group is a local Vancouver company that operates bars, restaurants, artist studio buildings, events, and community spaces, including Key Party, Slim's BBQ, Monarch Burger, Taco Kat, and Narrow Lounge.

We create spaces for weirdos to work, play, eat, drink, and socialize.

We believe cities are better when they're interesting, inclusive, entrepreneurial, and a little unconventional. We're not interested in building generic businesses. We build places with personality, support people with ideas, and create experiences that bring communities together.

We're ambitious about the future and are always looking for opportunities to grow, evolve, and create new spaces for the communities we serve.

If you're excited about people, hospitality, culture, and helping build something bigger than a single venue, you'll fit right in here.

The Opportunity

The Assistant General Manager (AGM) plays a key role in the day-to-day success of our hospitality operations by supporting the General Manager in keeping our venues organized, well-stocked, and running smoothly. This is a hands-on leadership role that combines operational coordination with floor leadership, helping ensure our teams have the tools, support, and structure they need to deliver great hospitality.

This is a full-time, fixed-term maternity leave coverage position, expected to last approximately one year. The position will begin in early August 2026 and will conclude upon the return of the employee from maternity/parental leave. While this role is temporary, it offers the opportunity to gain experience across multiple hospitality businesses in a growing company.

You'll split your time between behind-the-scenes operational work and supporting our venues in person. From inventory, ordering, and systems to coaching staff and assisting with events, you'll help keep multiple locations operating efficiently while building strong relationships with our teams.

We're looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys solving problems, loves hospitality, and is excited to grow alongside a company that's always evolving. If you're organized, dependable, and enjoy making things happen, we'd love to meet you.
