As the Bakery Manager at Nothing Bundt Cakes, you'll lead the daily operation of a bakery that brings joy to our guests and community. You'll develop a strong team, maintain exceptional product and guest-service standards, and ensure the bakery is organized, properly staffed and ready for business each day.

This is a hands-on leadership position-not a desk-only management role. We're looking for a dependable, organized leader who takes ownership, communicates concerns early and follows through. The right person will be comfortable working alongside the team while also managing schedules, training, inventory, performance and daily bakery priorities.

What You'll Own

• Lead daily bakery operations and create a positive, respectful and professional work environment.
• Prepare team schedules, manage routine callouts and adjust coverage as business needs change.
• Organize and oversee new-hire training, ongoing development and cross-training.
• Provide regular coaching, communicate clear expectations and address performance concerns promptly.
• Create production plans and ensure the bakery is appropriately staffed and prepared for anticipated sales.
• Manage ordering, inventory, par levels and supplies while minimizing shortages and unnecessary waste.
• Maintain Nothing Bundt Cakes standards for product quality, guest service, merchandising, cleanliness and food safety.
• Facilitate opening and closing responsibilities, including cash controls, deposits and daily administrative tasks.
• Monitor labor, inventory, product costs and other controllable expenses.
• Stay current on Brand communications, programs and guidelines and ensure they are consistently implemented.
• Maintain hands-on knowledge of bakery positions and step into guest service, production, cleaning or other responsibilities when needed.
• Keep the bakery owners informed of staffing, performance, operational and safety concerns and bring forward recommended solutions.

How the Owners Partner With You

The bakery owners remain actively involved in hiring, payroll, marketing, and higher-level business decisions. They are available to provide guidance and support when needed.

The Bakery Manager is expected to independently manage routine daily operations, training, scheduling, staffing coverage, ordering, and team communication. Success in this position means identifying concerns early, taking appropriate action, and following through-not waiting for the owners to discover or resolve routine bakery issues.

What We're Looking For

• At least three years of leadership experience in retail, hospitality, food service, or a similar team-oriented environment
• Experience scheduling, training, coaching, and holding employees accountable
• A reliable, hands-on leader who models the standards expected from the team
• Strong organization, communication, problem-solving and follow-up skills
• The ability to balance team leadership with production, guest-service and business priorities
• Basic understanding of labor, inventory, waste, sales and the factors that affect profitability
• Comfort using scheduling, point-of-sale, email and basic Microsoft Office systems
• Food-safety certification or the ability to obtain certification within 30 days

Compensation: $26.00 - $28.00 per hour
