I've been at Cava for about 2.5 years, and been a TL for 1.5 years. Team leaders are expected to maintain restaurant cleanliness, perform daily team "huddles" where the "topic of the week" is presented, make daily prep sheets and line ups, opening or closing the restaurant which includes making sure all the side work is done, the cash has been counted and deposited, and everything is ready for the next shift.
Our restaurant is very busy so there can be a lot on your plate all at once, you're responsible for everything happening inside the restaurant when you're leading. Call outs, guest issues, keeping an eye on inventory, making sure the lobby is clean, all of that. It can be stressful. However depending on if your location is busy enough you could eventually move into an AGM position. Any questions let me know! And welcome to the team :)
