Job description

The start of something big.

Since 1983, when our founder, Jimmy John, opened his first Jimmy John's sandwich shop, our determination and rockstar performance became the foundation of settling for nothing less than the best. We are in early every morning baking fresh bread and slicing vegetables, and it is critical to have a little (or a lot) of fun along the way. We succeed together as a family because high performers thrive as a team.

Calling all Go-Getters.

General Managers oversee all aspects of in-store operations, including but not limited to staffing/scheduling, food safety, inventory/stock ordering, COGS management, cash handling and brand compliance – you run the restaurant like an entrepreneur!

The General Manager is responsible for ensuring the store is in exceptional order and that all employees are performing duties properly and efficiently. General Managers must be self-motivated individuals who have superior leadership skills and execute systems and procedures with 100% integrity.

To qualify for this rockstar opportunity, you must be at least 18 years of age and authorized to work in the U.S.

Let's get this bread.

Be part of a culture of Go-Getters and Rockstars who succeed through goal setting, willingness to learn and a can-do attitude.

What’s in it for you:

• BONUS PAY ELIGIBILITY*
• PHANTOM STOCK PLAN**
• 401(k), including matching contributions
• Paid time off
• Free meal every shift
• Health, vision, and dental insurance**
• Growth potential in an expanding company

General Managers start at $47,000 per year and receive a higher salary of $50,000 once they become a Certified General Manager. General Managers earn an estimated $60,000+ per year when including bonus payouts.*

*Bonuses are not guaranteed, are based on store performance, and subject to the terms of the Bonus Policy.

**Eligibility requirements apply.

We slice our all-natural* meats and fresh veggies in-house every day. Our fresh-baked bread is made right here where you can see it, and our house-made tuna salad is fresh every day. The flavor of a ripe tomato, crisp shredded lettuce, combined with fresh-baked bread, fresh-sliced meat and real Hellmann's® mayo - that's when the magic happens. Made with love every single day since 1983. That's Jimmy Fresh!
