The company prides itself on its ability to serve delicious sandwiches quickly while maintaining a clean and organized environment, making it a popular choice for busy customers looking for convenient and tasty meal options. As a leader in the quick-service restaurant industry, Jimmy Johns is dedicated to innovation and excellence, continuously striving to improve its menu, delivery services, and overall operational efficiency.
This particular role is for a restaurant manager position at a Jimmy Johns location in Chicago, Illinois. The manager will be responsible for overseeing all functions of the restaurant to ensure that high-quality products and excellent customer service are consistently delivered, ultimately supporting the profitability and success of the establishment. Working closely with a team of 3 to 20 employees, the manager plays a vital role in staff management, including hiring, training, evaluating, and if necessary, disciplining and terminating employees. The manager ensures that all staff members are productive and efficient in meeting budget expectations, and also looks for areas where costs can be reduced to improve financial performance.
In addition to staff management, the restaurant manager is charged with overseeing critical operational processes such as ordering, receiving, storing, and issuing food and supplies. This responsibility requires attention to detail and strong organizational skills to minimize waste and prevent theft.

During busy periods, the manager assists in-store employees by greeting customers, taking orders, and helping with order assembly. Maintaining a high standard of cleanliness and organization throughout the shift is a key part of the role.
Further duties include forecasting food consumption to optimize inventory levels, managing cash drawers with 100 percent accountability during shifts, completing daily and weekly paperwork, auditing store procedures, and conducting preventive maintenance on equipment and supplies. Creativity is encouraged, as managers are expected to generate new ideas to boost sales and discuss these innovations with the Area Manager. Regular communication within the management team is maintained through weekly meetings.
Overall, the position demands a hands-on leader who takes accountability for both the team and operational excellence to deliver an outstanding customer experience in a fast-paced environment. This is an excellent opportunity for an individual seeking to apply their management skills and passion for hospitality within a dynamic and well-established restaurant brand.
