ASM Duties? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by femme444
hey y’all! i’m just wondering what the typical duties of an ASM are? my store doesn’t have one, so i don’t have any clue lol. other stores in my district do so it’s just genuine curiosity. thx!

ASM is more of a transitional role than a firm one. If you’re an ASM you are basically shadowing the SM plus some extra training. It’s not a permanent position and is given to those who will eventually be a SM, and I think it’s only a 6 month duration. So just think of it as a SM in training!

oh interesting! i’m a fairly new partner so i wasn’t sure. i did hear my manager say they were making ASM it’s own position, but i could be wrong. thanks for your reply!

It could vary by district. I’m a two year partner and in 2020 they made it a strictly transitional role rather than permanent but im sure some stores need the extra leadership!

Usually (at least in my area) an ASM will train in a store with a manager trainer that lasts a minimum
four weeks to complete the SM training. Then they “roast” for anywhere to 6-12 months to practice/learn the job, shadowing another SM as the previous replies said, so they can be prepared to take over their own store. Usually for the roasting time they’ll be sent to a higher volume store that can afford to support to salaried partners. So some stores tend to have an ASM more often since they are higher volume, however it’s not a permanent role.
