You will take on overall operational responsibility for a team of around 10-12 employees and report directly to the management. You are present in the store, roll up your sleeves during peaks, and simultaneously ensure that team leadership, shift planning, orders, production, quality, cleanliness, and key figures are under control at all times. We are not looking for a person who wants to grow into a leadership role for the first time, but rather someone who has already successfully managed a gastronomic operation or a comparable branch and actively takes on responsibility.

You consistently maintain product quality, hygiene, cleanliness, and the overall condition of the store at a high level. You keep an eye on revenue, personnel costs, goods costs, food waste, and productivity and initiate concrete measures in the event of deviations. You actively participate in interviews, trial shifts, and hiring decisions. You are a visible hosting personality and handle guest feedback and complaints professionally.
