About The Position

Einstein Bros. Bagels is seeking a General Manager to oversee all aspects of a bakery store using an ownership-minded approach. Stores use a one-shift operating model, with leaders starting as early as 4 a.m. to complete the first bake and open. The General Manager ensures the store is audit-ready, catering, mobile, and in-store orders are fulfilled, and customers receive an exceptional experience. During breakfast and lunch rushes, the General Manager works hands-on across positions, manages breaks, and supports strong customer survey results. After the store closes at 2 p.m., closing and preparation for the next day typically take 30–45 minutes. The role also includes scheduling, ordering, inventory, and taking the daily deposit to the bank. The company provides five weeks of training. Successful candidates are hands-on restaurant leaders who can motivate and inspire their teams. They are responsible for recruiting quality team members and developing internal talent. The posting describes early operating hours and emphasizes work-life balance, with stores closing at 2 p.m. The position is based at the Boulder, Colorado store.
