Cafe Manager

Born in 2017 from the kitchen of Danny Meyer's Union Square Cafe in New York City, Daily Provisions is a growing collection of all-day neighborhood cafes with restaurant roots. Daily Provisions offers a familiar, yet elevated, menu of classic dishes, including its signature crullers, all-day breakfast sandwiches with a runny yolk, and freshly brewed coffee and teas. Throughout the afternoon and evening, the restaurant serves chef-driven salads, made-to-order sandwiches, seasonal sides, and comforting dinner dishes like its famous Roast Chicken. A beloved neighborhood institution among New Yorkers, Daily Provisions has expanded to multiple locations total across New York, Jersey City, Boston, and Washington, D.C.

The Cafe Manager works closely with the General Manager and provides leadership and support to the Front of House and Back of House teams. The Manager will collaborate with the Managers at other Daily Provisions locations to ensure that we offer consistently phenomenal service, including best-in-class culinary, coffee and beverage programs. The Manager will educate and support the Daily Provisions team to create the best experience for all guests and the best work environment and experience for all employees.
