At Call Your Mother we believe that great food is made even better with amazing service and having fun together. CYM is a neighborhood bagel shop and deli with locations in DC, MD, VA, weekly farmer’s markets throughout the DMV, and new shops in Denver, Colorado. We're looking for new team members with positive attitudes and an eagerness to learn who are as excited about good food & GOOD VIBES.

We’re hiring a General Manager 

The Assistant General Manager oversees kitchen operations, front of house service, the continued development and growth of your team, and the overall profitability of your shop. The AGM is always guest-, food-, and team-focused, while being a quick thinker, a problem-solver, a skilled communicator, and a motivator. As an AGM, you will work directly with the General Manager and kitchen supervisors to ensure important responsibilities are completed and all team members are held accountable for their performance and product output through our CYM Values (“VIBES”). You will lead all team members and keep the shops buzzing – having fun while creating an incredible dining experience for our guests.

The AGM is responsible for overseeing all aspects of operations at their location during their shifts, and is the acting manager when the General Manager is not present. The AGM works directly with the General Manager to ensure daily tasks are completed and team members are fully prepared for their shifts. This role will lay the groundwork for a future General Manager. You will lead our FOH team and keep the shops buzzing – having fun while creating a great dining experience for guests.

A day in the life of an AGM at CYM:

• Oversee daily operations of your restaurant -- from preparing the shop to open, executing service, to closing; all at the highest level
• Proactively solving any problems that arise and always taking initiative to keep the restaurant running at its best, most efficient capacity
• Manage and lead FOH and kitchen supervisors (if applicable) and team members to ensure the best service is provided to our guests with CYM VIBES in mind

• Assist in overseeing food and beverage management, including inventory, ordering, and budget with regard to food, beverage and labor goals
• Assist with recruiting, hiring, training, and conducting performance evaluation of team members
• Assist with scheduling so that each shift and position is covered at its best ability. If there is an issue (call-outs, emergency), the AGM would have left the team with the resources need to complete the shift to the highest CYM standard the manager is on-call to solve it in the best interest of the shop
