Job description

Breakfast with us, and dinner with your loved ones! At Einstein Bros. Bagels, we believe in the bagel, and we’ve been baking bagels fresh daily since 1995. We believe that our bakeries do more than just make the best breakfast in the neighborhood. We guarantee two things: First, to spread a little more joy and happiness in the world. To laugh, smile, and enjoy each other’s company that much more. And to us, there’s no better way to do that than with the bagel. Second: we are committed to work-life balance for our team. Our stores close at 2pm! You will never miss that dance recital or once in a lifetime concert. Join our team!

We are looking for our next General Manager!

If you are ready to rise like one of our bagels and grow your career, then becoming a District Shift Leader is for you. District Shift Leaders participate in a targeted General Manager development plan to learn how to be a bagel boss. Once the development plan is complete, you will be next in line to take ownership of a bakery as a General Manager when a position is available!

What’s a day in the life of a District Shift Leader?

District Shift Leaders perform management duties at a home location and are expected to support other bakeries in the market as needed. Traveling provides the opportunity to gain further independence and learn from additional leaders in the area. District Shift Leaders are the next General Manager in the organization and lead to that standard in the absence of the General Manager.

Shifts begin as early as 3am for the first bake and store opening duties. You will lead by example, be a brand ambassador, and provide ongoing coaching and training for the teams. Our bakeries are busy, and you will jump into different roles every shift to ensure high-quality food and beverages for our guests and keep a safe, clean store environment.

The GM development plan will include training in restaurant administrative duties such as inventory tracking, vendor orders, and cash management. You will learn valuable skills as you grow into a GM role such as P&L analysis, how to achieve food cost and labor targets, scheduling, and recruiting quality team members. If this sounds like a place where you would enjoy coming to work - making people’s mornings - we’d love to hear from you! Must be at least 18 years old to apply.

What’s in it for you:

Medical, vision, and dental insurance

Paid time off**

Minimum 30 hours/week required

You will never have to work past 3PM (Yep, you read that right! NO EVENINGS & NO NIGHTS!)

Competitive pay, plus cash and credit card tips*

Employee Assistance Program – FREE therapy, financial advising, legal advice, etc.

Learn To Live – FREE online life coaching, webinars, to help with stress, anxiety, and more

401K with company match!

What We’re Looking for:

Expected to fill in for General Managers at other locations within the market

Expected to accept a permanent General Manager promotion within the market when available, specific location is not guaranteed

High school diploma or equivalent

A minimum of 2 years of leadership experience preferred

Must be able to work varied hours/days as business dictates including early hours and weekends (starting as early as 3am)

Must be able to pass background check and possess a current, valid driver’s license

Must complete Bagel Brands ServSafe Certification program by the end of the GM development plan, if a valid certification is not already in possession

*Tip eligibility subject to state regulations.

**Additional benefits eligibility is subject to position guidelines at time of hire.
