Job description

Brand Overview

Brand: Bruegger's Bagels Breakfast with us, and dinner with your loved ones! At Bruegger’s, we’ve been kettle cooking our bagels and serving tradition you can taste for over 35 Years! We guarantee two things: First, we’re committed to serving genuine, New York-style bagels and real, made-in-Vermont cream cheese. 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.

District Shift Leader Role

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. Must be at least 18 years old to apply.
