Job Description

The hiring establishment is a fast-growing Jimmy John's franchise located in Parker, Colorado, known for its commitment to fresh sandwiches and exceptional customer service within the fast food industry. Unlike typical fast food chains, this franchise prides itself on being a freaky F.A.S.S.T. organization that nurtures a friendly, dynamic, and engaging work environment. This establishment emphasizes employee growth, advancement opportunities, and maintaining a culture that values both quality and speed in food preparation. The franchise is looking for dedicated individuals who share a passion for delivering fresh products and creating a clean, enjoyable space for customers and team members alike. The employment opportunity presented is for the position of General Manager, with a competitive salary range of $50,000 to $60,000 depending on experience, accompanied by performance-based bonuses, benefits such as PPO medical, dental, and vision plans, paid time off, and an employee meal program.

In the role of General Manager, the successful candidate will play a critical role in managing all operational aspects of the restaurant. The ideal individual will coordinate a staff consisting of assistant managers and employees, ensuring efficient daily operations that include food preparation, customer service, inventory control, and store cleanliness. This position requires leadership in hiring, training, evaluating, and sometimes disciplining team members while fostering a positive work atmosphere that supports employee retention and development. The General Manager will be responsible for achieving sales goals and maintaining profitability through effective cost control measures, such as minimizing waste and theft. Additionally, the manager will oversee the accuracy and completeness of order fulfillment and ensure that all systems and procedures are implemented with full integrity. Other key responsibilities include managing cash procedures, conducting regular manager meetings, performing preventive maintenance on equipment, and directly supporting the team during peak business hours. The role demands physical stamina and a commitment to working flexible hours, including overtime, weekends, holidays, and days off as needed, often requiring 50 to 80 hours of work per week. From a customer experience standpoint, the General Manager must ensure that every customer receives world-class service that reinforces Jimmy John's reputation for quality and speed.
