About The Position

The Operations Manager (OM) will work directly with the Senior Operations Manager, Director of Operations, and other members of the leadership team to execute strategies that focus on delivering world-class hospitality and crave-able food while adhering to all Chick-fil-A standards. While being an ambassador of the brand, the Operations Manager will also work closely with other leaders, such as the Catering manager and catering team, to help grow the brand in Brooklyn, NY. The Operations Manager is responsible for coaching the behaviors and providing accountability to all Team Leaders and Team Members who work for the organization. Those behaviors include customers first, working with a sense of urgency to improve our speed of service, and ensuring all Chick-fil-A training and procedures are followed. The Operations Manager has the responsibility for directing the daily operations of the restaurant, ensuring compliance with company standards in all areas of operations, including production, preparation, guest relations, restaurant maintenance and repair, inventory management, team management, recruiting, financial accountability, ensuring the highest quality products and services are delivered to our customers and other duties as required. You must be a minimum age of 21+ years old and have a NY food handlers permit for this job. The focus of this job is making connections with people, motivating and inspiring them to achieve results. Poise and an engaging, empathetic communication style based on natural warmth and enthusiasm are the keys to achieving the goals of this job. The work involves driving toward results by enrolling the commitment and buy-in of others. While the job requires strong initiative and self-direction, results are only achieved with and through people. A sincere appreciation for people and how they are each uniquely motivated is the foundation for designing and implementing interactive communication and decision-making processes. Knowledge and skill in successfully influencing and persuading others by understanding how their individual needs and motivations link to goals are essential. The job requires a high degree of "selling," whether of ideas and policies within the organization or products or services in the marketplace. The job environment is fast-paced and results-oriented. While there is an urgency to goal achievement, responsibility for achieving results needs to be shared and effectively delegated when necessary. Initiating projects and processes beyond established organizational practices will often require training and developing others and enlisting their support using a "selling" rather than "telling" communication style. A self-confident, extroverted style that can enliven, engage, and positively impact individuals and groups is essential. The job has a variety of tasks and is dynamic and changing. Because goals and desired results can quickly change, the job requires regularly meeting and proactively establishing relationships with new groups. Understanding, quickly reacting, and motivating others to adapt to the changing organizational environment are critical to success. In general, the core of this position requires a motivated team builder and organization developer.
