Assign responsibilities and ensure shifts are properly staffed. Maintain Yafa Hummus franchise standards for food quality, preparation, presentation, and customer service. Provide excellent customer service and resolve customer concerns. Maintain high standards for cleanliness, food safety, and health-code compliance. Manage inventory, ordering, and product availability. Monitor food waste and help control food and labor costs. Manage opening procedures, cash handling, POS procedures, and daily reporting. Handle routine operational issues independently and communicate important issues to the owners. Create a positive, respectful, and accountable work environment. Work professionally with all team members, including members of the owner's family working in the restaurant. Help increase restaurant sales and profitability. Develop and grow the restaurant's catering business. Build relationships with nearby companies, offices, schools, organizations, and community groups.

Strong with customers and able to resolve problems. Organized and able to manage multiple priorities. Familiar with scheduling, inventory, food costs, labor costs, and restaurant operations.

Catering, sales, or local business-development experience is a plus. Compensation & Growth Opportunity The starting rate is $27/hour plus tips. We want this position to grow with the business. If the manager demonstrates the ability to successfully run Yafa Hummus Sunnyvale with minimal owner involvement, maintain strong operations, develop the team, control costs, and deliver a great customer experience, there will be an opportunity for increased compensation. There will also be opportunities for additional performance-based incentives for growing catering sales, particularly for developing new corporate customers and recurring catering accounts. What Success Looks Like Success in this position means the restaurant operates smoothly whether or not the owners are physically present. The team is properly staffed and trained, customers receive excellent service, food quality and cleanliness remain consistent, costs are controlled, problems are handled quickly, and sales and catering continue to grow. We are looking for someone who wants to take ownership of the operation and grow with Yafa Hummus Sunnyvale, not simply work a manager shift.
