General Manager

Brand: Einstein Bros. Bagels

Breakfast with us, and dinner with your loved ones! At Einstein Bros. Bagels, we believe in the bagel, and we’ve been baking bagels fresh daily since 1995. We believe that our bakeries do more than just make the best breakfast in the neighborhood. We guarantee two things: First, to spread a little more joy and happiness in the world. To laugh, smile, and enjoy each other’s company that much more. And to us, there’s no better way to do that than with the bagel. Second: we are committed to work‑life balance for our team. Our stores close at 2 pm! You will never miss that dance recital or once‑in‑a‑lifetime concert. Join our team!

Main Opportunity: We are looking for a General Manager to join our team!

Day in the Life of a Bagel Boss

Our stores operate on a one‑shift model. Leaders start as early as 4 am to bake and open the store. During the day you’ll keep the store audit‑ready, ensure catering/mobile/in‑store orders are executed, and provide an exceptional customer experience. You’ll also float in all positions as needed during breakfast and lunch rushes, keep up on breaks, and generate good customer survey results. When the doors close at 2 pm, it usually takes 30‑45 minutes to close and prep for the next day. You can squeeze in scheduling, ordering, or inventory before everyone arrives and after everyone leaves. Take the daily deposit to the bank and you’re done well before dinner time. We provide 5‑week training to prepare you for all of this.

What We Are Looking for

Successful GMs have 1‑3 years of prior General Manager or Assistant General Manager experience in a restaurant setting. Leaders are hands‑on operators who can simultaneously motivate and inspire the team. Prior exposure to P&L analysis is valuable, but proven strategies for achieving food‑cost goals and labor targets are required. Recruiting quality team members and developing internal talent is a key function. Must be at least 18 years old to apply.

• Competitive Pay – $68,000‑$73,000
• Attainable quarterly bonus – over 60% of our GMs were bonused last year
• Benefits (Medical, dental, vision, HSA/FSA, disability, life insurance)
• 401(k) + company match
• No nights/no evenings – operating hours 6 am‑2 pm
• Paid Time Off (PTO) – accrue 180 hours in first year
• Grow with us! 80% of our new District Managers in 2022 were promoted from GM
• Other perks include pet insurance, tuition reimbursement, adoption assistance, discounts on your favorite things (Tickets at Work, Sprint, Quicken Loans and company swag), Employee Assistance Program for all employees and family, and more!
