Job Description

Located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, our Jimmy John's franchise is not your typical fast food establishment. We pride ourselves in delivering a unique blend of quality, speed, and a fun workplace environment. As a rapidly growing franchisee, we are dedicated to serving freaky fresh sandwiches while fostering a freaky fun culture that values each team member and encourages professional growth. Unlike traditional fast-food models, we believe that fast food should also be food worth enjoying, and we take that seriously. We offer competitive wages and a comprehensive benefits package that contributes to a rewarding career experience for our employees.

The role of General Manager at our Jimmy John's franchise is pivotal to our business operations and brand reputation. As a General Manager, you will oversee all aspects of the restaurant's operations, ensuring fast, accurate, and world-class customer service. You will be responsible for maintaining high-quality food standards, cleanliness, restaurant organization, and overall profitability. This role demands leadership skills to develop and retain employees, achieve sales goals, and manage the store efficiently. The General Manager will supervise a team of assistant managers and employees, guiding them through training, coaching, and performance evaluation. You will delegate responsibilities such as inventory ordering, food preparation supervision, cash handling, and compliance with operational procedures to guarantee smooth and effective business functions.

This position offers a salary range of $50,000 to $60,000 per year, dependent on experience, along with opportunities to earn periodic, metric-based bonuses based on store performance. Working hours can be demanding, sometimes requiring 50-80 hours per week, including overtime, holidays, weekends, and days off as business needs dictate. This challenging yet rewarding role is perfect for motivated leaders eager to grow within a fast-paced, supportive environment. General Managers at our franchise have the opportunity to progress their careers to Area Manager or Director of Operations roles through dedicated career development programs that include mentorship and HR support.

In this role, you will be hands-on with daily operations such as managing food inventory, ensuring proper food preparation and service, controlling waste and theft, maintaining equipment, conducting staff meetings, and leading the team during peak hours. Your leadership will ensure that every customer experiences excellent service paired with delicious sandwiches in a welcoming atmosphere. We emphasize pride and ownership of your location, providing a platform to build and refine your management and leadership skills while contributing to the overall success and growth of the franchise. Join us and become a leader in one of the industry’s fastest-growing food service businesses.
