As part of your bakery-cafe’s management team, you report directly to the General Manager or Operating Partner.

• Help your bakery-cafe grow and succeed.
  • Coach and motivate your team to exceed your bakery-cafe's goals—for sales, speed of service, order accuracy, and cafe health.
  • Train your team on food safety standards and ensure they are maintained.

• Lead, manage, and develop your associates.
  • Hire and onboard new associates and provide ongoing training and development, including constructive feedback, as needed.

• You can work flexible hours, including nights and weekends.
• You’re committed to, and experienced with, health and food safety.
• You want to have a positive impact on your customers and community.
• You meet these requirements:
  • Proven ability to direct, motivate, coach, and develop others in a fast-paced environment
  • Demonstrated ability to run great shifts
  • estaurant management experience
