Job description
General Manager – The Salty DonutLead the Vibe. Grow the Brand. Join the Craze.
The Salty Donut is a chef‑driven, craft donut and coffee shop known for small‑batch flavors, high‑quality ingredients, and unforgettable guest experiences. We’re growing fast — and we’re looking for a dynamic, people‑first General Manager to lead one of our shops and elevate the guest experience every day.
Why You’ll Love This Role:This is the perfect opportunity for a hospitality leader who thrives in fast‑paced environments and loves developing teams. If you come from QSR, fast casual, café, bakery, or restaurant management, you’ll feel right at home here.
You’ll run your shop like it’s your own — driving culture, quality, and performance while creating a place guests love to return to.
What You’ll Do:
  • Lead, coach, and develop a high‑performing FOH & BOH team.
  • Deliver exceptional guest experiences with a warm, positive, “+1” service mindset.
  • Manage daily operations: scheduling, labor, inventory, ordering, and store standards.
  • Ensure product quality, cleanliness, and consistency across all touchpoints.
  • Drive KPIs including P&L, COGS, labor, sales, and customer sentiment.
  • Oversee catering operations, events, and community activations.
  • Recruit, hire, onboard, and train team members who embody The Salty culture.
  • Solve problems proactively and maintain a calm, confident leadership presence.

What You Bring:
  • 4+ years of management experience in hospitality, QSR, or food & beverage.
  • Experience leading teams of 10+ per shift.
  • Strong understanding of P&L, labor management, scheduling, and operations.
  • A guest‑obsessed, people‑focused leadership style.
  • Ability to stay composed in high‑volume environments.
  • A positive, coachable, humble attitude with a drive to grow.
  • ServSafe Manager Certification (or ability to obtain within 90 days).
  • Ability to work weekends and holidays.

What We Offer:
  • Competitive salary + monthly bonus.
  • 45–50 hour workweek with schedule flexibility.
  • 6 weeks paid parental leave.
  • Health, dental, and vision benefits.
  • Matching HSA + 401(k).
  • Company‑paid life insurance.
  • Employee Assistance Programs.
  • Pet insurance.
  • 40% off donuts, coffee, merch, and catering.
  • Friends & family discount.
  • Anniversary program.
  • Generous PTO, Sick Time & Well‑Being Time.
  • Real growth opportunities in a rapidly expanding brand.

Ready to Lead With Us?If you’re a hands‑on leader who loves people, food, and creating memorable experiences, we’d love to meet you. Join The Salty Donut and help us build something special.
