Description

WHO WE ARE

The Salty is an artisan donut shop that focuses on chef-made, craft donuts that rotate based on seasonality. We use nothing but the highest quality ingredients and make everything in house. Naturally, we don't use any artificial ingredients in anything we make, because, well - that's gross. If we wouldn't serve it to our own family, we definitely wouldn't serve it to yours. Coffee? Yep. We serve Intelligentsia Coffee and have crafted a coffee menu that pleases all palettes. Lastly, to what makes The Salty- The Salty, is our obsession with guest service. Today's day and age it's so easy to get lost in your phone, lost in the madness of the world, so we try to create an environment that is an escape from that hazy life. A place that you know as a guest you'll receive a positive consistent donut and experience each time. This obsession all starts with you.

WORK ENVIRONMENT

The Salty is a fast-paced, team-oriented operation both in the back and front of the house. The primary focus of our company's management team is to lead by example, inspire, effectively and openly communicate and be collaborative with the rest of their team. There's no "I" The Salty. There's nothing that anyone is "too qualified" to do. We're all working with the same intentions and for the same goal, which is to make The Salty not only the most delicious donut shop around, but also a benchmark in the F&B industry when it comes to experiential food and beverage. Ambitious? You bet. Impossible? Nope. - Now let's get to work and absolutely CRUSH it.

Requirements

THE JOB

Store Managers oversee everything that happens within the 4 walls of their store- no matter if it's regarding FOH to BOH or from salary to hourly. The Store Manager balances being an advocate for their team members, while owning and driving business KPI's (P&L results, guest sentiment, sales building within the 4 walls, delivery and catering) and supporting the operational practices, core values, and company culture.

While all Guest Experience Team Members, Key Holders, and Assistant Store Manager all directly report to the Store Manager, all BOH positions indirectly report to the Store Manager as well. Store Managers ensure that the BOH is operating at an optimal production cadence, quality of products is exceptional and cleanliness standards set by the Company are being upheld and maintained. This role ensures that their team are all doing their jobs correctly, our guest service is world-class, their store is clean, the products we serve are meeting quality standards and the Company core values are being instilled throughout all positions. To be a successful Store Manager is to be a leader who accepts accountability (non negotiable) for the duties and responsibilities of their position.

This position reports directly to the Regional Manager that that store is assigned to.
