Area Manager Chicago & Milwaukee

Fairgrounds Coffee and Tea•Chicago, IL

1d•$85,000 - $100,000•Hybrid

About The Position

At Fairgrounds, our mission is to expertly craft unique, authentic, joyful experiences. Our vision is simple: to become the Neighborhood's Most Loved Café. We believe operational excellence is hospitality. Clean cafés, perfectly crafted beverages, exceptional leaders, disciplined execution, and genuine hospitality are all part of the same guest experience. We don't separate operations from hospitality. We believe one creates the other. We're looking for a Regional Operations Manager who believes the same. This leader is responsible for the operational and financial performance of our Chicago and Milwaukee cafés. This is not a role for someone who simply manages stores. We're looking for someone with an ownership mentality who treats the business like it's their own, is fanatical about standards, relentlessly develops leaders, and is driven to deliver exceptional results. You'll spend the majority of your time in cafés coaching General Managers, improving execution, holding teams accountable, and building a culture where winning is the expectation.

Coach with honesty, care, and accountability.
Use data to drive decisions and results.
