Job Description

Direct message the job poster from Levain Bakery.

Competitive triathletes and passionate bakers, Pam Weekes and Connie McDonald left their careers to open a small bread shop in New York City in 1995 — Levain Bakery.

Every day, we strive to embody our company’s five core values:

  • Welcome All - We are all in it together
  • Work Hard and Be Kind - We pull our weight, we do our best, and take care of each other
  • Lead with Heart - We operate with empathy and integrity
  • Rise Up - We take initiative to make things better
  • Savor It - We are present and find the fun!

General Managers collaborate with District Managers to oversee all operations and the overall financial wellbeing of the bakery. General Managers provide on-the-ground support and ensure retail, baking production, and operations needs are met. The ideal General Manager candidate has strong problem-solving instincts, decision making and leadership skills, and the ability to manage a clear growth path for the bakery.

What you’ll do:

  • Act with care, agility, and integrity that promotes our values and culture.
  • Oversee day-to-day operations of bakery and production, including maintaining DOH standards, creating the weekly schedule, administering accurate and on-time payroll, and performing regular preventative maintenance of equipment.
  • Manage COGS by monitoring and adjusting PARS, overseeing on-time ordering practices, and ensuring accurate weekly and end of period inventories.
  • Able to perform every role within the bakery and production to assess and achieve optimal performance.
  • Own 4-wall P&L; partnering with operations to identify liabilities and opportunities to achieve financial goals.
  • Coach, develop, and train team members, addressing areas for growth and fostering high-potential talent at every level.
  • Cultivate an inclusive culture and positive work environment for all team members.
  • Model superior customer service, providing a warm and welcoming environment for every customer that walks into one of our bakeries.
  • Create a succession plan to prepare bakery and production for growth and labor changes.
  • Strategize and recommend changes to hit sales goals, increase foot traffic, manage costs, and improve relationships with vendors and community members.

What we’re looking for:

  • Passion for what you do – you love both the people and business sides of the food industry and are great at thinking through both challenges and opportunities in either area.
  • Adaptability and flexibility – you recognize that in the food industry, anything can – and will – happen and you’re able to calmly troubleshoot issues.
  • Eye for detail – you understand how to break down larger goals into day-to-day action and are inherently meticulous and strategic.
  • Collaborative spirit and commitment to Levain’s core values – you’re a team player and willing to lend a hand or elevate those around you and you’re the first to jump in if extra help is needed in either the front of back-of-house. You add your own individuality to an already positive and uplifting work environment. A good sense of humor doesn’t hurt either!

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Business, Hospitality, or relevant field of study required.
  • Minimum of 4-5 years of food service, QSR, or retail experience required.
  • Open availability: ability to work mornings, nights, weekends, and holidays.
  • Ability to lift/push 25-50 pounds.
  • Stand/walk for an 8-hour shift (excluding a ½ hour break); some locations require walking up and down stairs.
  • Read and communicate in English, both verbally and in writing.
  • Utilize basic computer skills (Email, Microsoft Office).
  • Must have DOH Certification.
