Dash In•La Plata, MD

2d•$65,000 - $75,000

About The Position

Dash In is hiring a Bench Store Manager to support and learn its market while preparing to take over a store. The role is intended for experienced restaurant, kitchen, or multi-unit leaders seeking broader operational exposure, store-level P&L responsibility, and a path to becoming a Store General Manager. The manager will train alongside experienced leaders, run stores when needed, and build the capabilities to manage a Dash In location independently once placed. This is a hands-on, fast-paced leadership role, not a desk job. It involves leading teams, overseeing high-volume foodservice and retail operations, managing financial results, maintaining brand standards, and supporting multiple locations through travel. The schedule is flexible based on business needs in a 24/7 operation. Initial training may take place outside the employee’s home location, with accommodations provided if needed. Once trained, the Bench Store Manager acts as the store leader during General Manager absences.
