We are currently seeking a dedicated General Manager to join our team and lead one of our stores. This role is ideal for someone who embodies a "treat it like you own it" philosophy and is ready to take on the great and challenging responsibility of overseeing all aspects of the store's operations. The General Manager position is full-time with competitive compensation ranging from $65,000 to $68,000 annually. What makes this role unique is the one-shift model, typically operating from early morning until 2 PM, ensuring no nights or evenings are required. This schedule allows for a balanced work-life routine while managing all facets of the store.

A typical day for our General Managers begins as early as 4 AM with the first bake and opening of the store. Throughout the day, the GM ensures the store is audit-ready, oversees catering, mobile, and in-store orders, and guarantees that every customer enjoys an exceptional experience. During peak breakfast and lunch hours, the manager actively supports the team by filling in where needed, managing breaks, and driving positive customer survey results. Closing duties include prepping the store for the next day, completing schedules, ordering inventory, and banking daily deposits, all usually completed well before dinner time.

Bagel Brands equips its General Managers with five weeks of comprehensive training to prepare them for success in this dynamic role. The ideal candidate should have between one to three years of prior experience as a General Manager or Assistant General Manager within the restaurant industry. Strong leadership skills, hands-on operational expertise, and the ability to motivate and inspire a team are essential. Financial acumen, particularly around profit and loss analysis, food cost controls, and labor management, is highly valued. Furthermore, recruiting quality team members and cultivating internal talent are vital responsibilities for leadership at Bagel Brands.

Beyond the rewarding challenge of managing store operations and supporting your team, this role offers significant career growth opportunities. Approximately 80% of the district managers in 2022 were promoted from General Manager positions, underscoring the company’s commitment to internal advancement. Additional perks include pet insurance, tuition reimbursement, adoption assistance, employee discounts, and an Employee Assistance Program for employees and their families. The company fosters an inclusive and equal opportunity workplace, considering all applicants without regard to race, ethnicity, gender, or other protected characteristics. Bagel Brands is headquartered at 5050 Kietzke Lane, Reno, Nevada, and is proud to provide a welcoming working environment with reasonable accommodations as needed.
