Unassigned General Manager
About The Position
Bruegger’s Bagels is seeking a General Manager to oversee all aspects of a store with an ownership mindset. Stores operate on a one-shift model, with leaders starting as early as 4 a.m. to bake bagels and open. General Managers help ensure the store is audit-ready, fulfill catering, mobile, and in-store orders, and provide an exceptional customer experience. During breakfast and lunch rushes, they work hands-on in positions as needed, manage breaks, and support strong customer survey results. Stores close at 2 p.m.; closing and preparation for the next day typically take another 30–45 minutes. Administrative duties may include 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 develop their teams. The role includes recruiting quality team members and developing internal talent, as well as achieving food-cost and labor targets. Prior exposure to P&L analysis is valuable. The position is based at 1650 86th St NW, Clive, Iowa 50325. Physical demands include sitting, standing, bending, lifting, and moving intermittently during working hours, with or without reasonable accommodation. Duties may change, and the description is not all-inclusive. Bagel Brands is an equal opportunity employer.
