developing for asm q&a (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by susiesaraglock
um more so i ask questions and u give me answers but what was your experience developing for assistant store manager? im just not starting but im taking over food management next week. any tips on that? i kind of have no idea what it is? whats the difference in pay like from shift to asm? is it worth me transferring to multiple stores and overworking myself when im already overworked as a shift? do sms just dump their workload on u?

The only thing I can tell you is ASMs are salary management and don’t get paid an hourly rate.

which means you don’t get paid overtime.

In corporate US stores (afaik), ASM is basically store manager-in-training. Once training is complete, the ASM waits for a SM opening and then they take over that store as the SM. Or, the ASM will fill in at other stores if that manager is on vacation/leave, or if the store really needs help. ASM is not a permanent position.

ASMs are not yet salaried. They get paid hourly until they get their own store. The pay increase is pretty significant, and it depends on location/store volume. I’m pretty sure my store manager makes upwards of $50k a year, probably more. An ASM will make more than a shift but not as much as a SM.

The SM training the ASM basically acts as a shift, so the ASM can get hands-on training making schedules, inventory management, store schematics, deployments, etc. The SM should help/advise as necessary, but the goal is for the ASM to manage the store independently.

I am actually starting food management next week also. I was told it would be IMS- creating pars, inventory, etc. Might be different for you.
