  • Analyze shift-level data and recommend process changes that improve outcomes
  • Ensure compliance with federal and state labor laws

Grow the Business

  • Support company talent pipelines by coaching and developing team members daily, building readiness for talent promotion as the business expands
  • Train and certify team trainers, ensuring they are prepared to support new store openings and deliver consistent onboarding to new hires
  • Actively mentor and coach managers-in-training, preparing them for potential transfers or leadership roles at other locations
  • Serve as a hands-on role model leader, modeling company values and reinforcing performance standards that promote personal and professional growth
  • Partner with the Senior Operations Leader to align workload initiatives, projects, staffing, scheduling, and team development to support current operations and prepare for future expansion
  • Lead execution of pilot programs, provide actionable feedback, and help shape best practices for company-wide rollout

Who You Are

  • A high-accountability operator with 2+ years of experience managing shift operations in food service, retail, hospitality, or a similar setting
  • Confident leading teams and executing complex shifts in fast-paced, customer facing environments
  • Demonstrated experience owning operational KPIs including labor deployment, order accuracy, and throughput

  • Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
