Performance Review Form – Assistant Manager

Performance Review Form - Assistant Manager

Step 1 of 8

12%

This review is to be conducted in a professional manner and environment. The sole purpose of this review is to objectively evaluate the performance of the manager and to establish their strengths and opportunities in the following areas:

  1. Performance of Essential Duties and Responsibilities
  2. Leadership and Management Skills
  3. Adherence to Company and Corporate Policies and Procedures

Assistant Manager's Responsibility

At least two weeks prior to the date the GM is conducting the evaluation, he/she should advise the AM to review and rate their own performance on this form. They will rate themselves using the Performance Rating System included and must write their rating in the "Self" section for each category on the review. The AM should then add together the total points for each section. The AM should also provide written comments in the "AM Comment" section regarding their performance in that category. These comments should justify the rating given for the responsibilities in that section and detail the category goals the AM has set for themselves for the next year. After the AM has completed their "Self" evaluation, he/she should give the review to their supervisor to complete.

General Manager's Responsibility

After the AM has completed their "Self" evaluation and given you the form, you should use the same form to rate the manager's performance using the Performance Rating System included and mark your ratings in the "Supervisor" section for each category on the review. Please also include comments in the section provided after each rating criteria. Your comments should include notes on the manager's strengths and opportunities in each section. You should then add together the total points in the "Supervisor" column for each section. If you are going to request a pay increase for the manager, you should discuss the suggested increase with your supervisor and get approval from your area District Manager or Regional before discussing an increase with your manager at the designated review meeting.

During the designated review meeting, you will have the opportunity to compare appraisals and openly discuss how either party rated each skill and/or responsibility. This discussion should generate constructive thoughts and comments on each side. You should also discuss the results of the manager's last scorecard to help identify key opportunities at the manager's restaurant. Based upon the ratings and scorecard review, you should both work together to create written review goals and objectives.
