As a General Manager at HoneyBaked, you will be a key leader responsible for the day-to-day operations of the store. This role goes beyond routine management tasks; it is about acting with the mindset of an owner, making strategic decisions that drive store profitability and customer satisfaction. You will lead the team by example, fostering a service-oriented environment that values personal, hands-on customer interactions.

The ideal candidate for this position is an experienced General Manager, preferably from a retail or restaurant background, who demonstrates a strong passion for customer service and has a proven track record of growth in previous roles. You should understand the key drivers behind profitability, such as effectively managing the profit and loss statement, executing business plans, and maintaining product quality standards without compromise. A strong desire to increase sales, build strong community relationships, and grow your team is essential. Experience in hiring, particularly seasonal workers, is highly valued.

The company operates on a schedule that typically requires managers to work about 50 hours per week and is closed on Sundays, allowing for meaningful personal time.
