My 17 year old DD has been working at a local pho/poke/asian bowl counter service place for the last 18 months. They have three restaurants so designate acting managers for each place for those times when a family member is not there. The acting manager at her place left so she set a time to talk with the owner and then told him she was ready for more responsibility as she already did most of the training of new employees. They made her acting manager with a substantial raise. I'm such a proud mom, no way would anyone have put me in charge of anything at 17 never mind would I even have had the nerve to ask.
