Job description

Brand:
Einstein Bros. Bagels

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 a General Manager to join our team!

Our General Managers have the great and challenging role of overseeing all aspects of the store with a “treat it like you own it” philosophy.

What’s a day in the life of a bagel boss?

Our stores operate on a one-shift-model. Our leaders start as early as 4am to do the first bake and open the store. During the day you’ll make sure the store is audit ready, catering/mobile/in-store orders are executed, and the customers have an exceptional experience. Plus a few high fives for the team! During breakfast and lunch rushes GMs float in all positions where needed, keep up on breaks, and generate good customer survey results. When the doors close at 2pm it usually takes 30-45 minutes to close and prep for the next day. You can squeeze in the schedule, order, or inventory but favorite admin times are before everyone comes in and after everyone leaves. Take the daily deposit to the bank and you’re done well before dinner time! We prepare you to manage all of that with 5 weeks of training.

Successful GMs have 1-3 years prior General Manager or Assistant General Manager experience in a restaurant setting. Our leaders are hands‑on operators who can simultaneously motivate and inspire the team to fun‑ness. Prior exposure to P&L analysis is valuable but tried and true strategies for achieving food cost goals and labor targets are required. Recruiting quality team members and developing internal talent is a key function for our leaders. If this sounds like a good fit and you would enjoy making people’s mornings, while continuing to grow in your career, we’d love to hear from you! Must be at least 18 years old to apply.

What’s in it for you?

• Competitive Pay - $57,000-$62,000***
• ATTAINABLE quarterly bonus – Over 60% of our GMs were bonused last year!
• Benefits (Medical, dental, vision, HSA/FSA, disability, life insurance)
• 401K + company match
• NO NIGHTS/NO EVENINGS - Operating hours 6am-2pm***
• Paid Time Off (PTO) - Accrue 180 hours in first year
• Grow with us! 80% of our new District Managers in 2022 were promoted from GM!
• Other perks include pet insurance, tuition reimbursement, adoption assistance, discounts on your favorite things (Tickets at Work, Sprint, Quicken Loans and company swag), Employee Assistance Program for all employees and family, and more!
