Manager in Training
About The Position
Legend Subs is hiring a Manager in Training for its Jersey Mike's franchise group, which has 10 locations across New Hampshire and Massachusetts and plans to develop 8 more. The MIT program provides structured, hands-on leadership development and a path to a General Manager position. Training takes approximately 4–6 months, depending on experience, performance, and leadership readiness. The schedule is approximately 45 hours per week, including opening, midday, and closing shifts. The role receives direct mentorship and oversight from a District Manager and a designated Training Store Manager. The program covers restaurant operations, team leadership, financial management, business development, and performance management. Trainees lead shifts and learn to oversee daily operations while maintaining Jersey Mike's standards for quality, service, and cleanliness. They also learn to recruit, train, coach, and develop employees; manage scheduling, labor, inventory, ordering, food costs, and P&L analysis; and drive sales through grassroots marketing, catering relationships, and community involvement. The program concludes with a trial week operating a location independently, followed by a P&L presentation and performance review. Advancement is performance-based, with potential progression to General Manager and, as the company expands, District Manager and other leadership roles. Starting pay is $18 per hour, with average additional tip earnings of $4–$6 per hour. General Manager compensation is listed as a starting salary of $55,000–$60,000 annually, with monthly and annual performance bonus opportunities.
