DEEPER THAN BAGELS

Call Your Mother is the Jew-ish deli where Boca meets Brooklyn, grandma-level hospitality meets seriously good bagel sandwiches, and hard work meets face-melting vibes.

Husband-and-wife team Andrew and Chef Dani built Call Your Mother around a simple idea: make scrumptious, nostalgic food and unforgettable experiences without being bougie or taking ourselves too seriously. From our first little farmer’s market stand in 2018, to shops across the DMV, Colorado, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Miami in 2026, we’re spreading carb love all over the map and our ovens are just getting warmed up! We’ll take bagels to mars if the locals are hungry up there.

WE’RE HIRING A CAPITAL PURCHASING AND LOGISTICS MANAGER, BASED IN WASHINGTON, DC!

Our Capital Purchasing and Logistics Manager makes sure the items we need to open new CYM shops are sourced, ordered, tracked, and delivered when the project needs them. You’ll work with Design, Construction, Supply Chain, Operations, Finance, vendors, and General Contractors to keep purchasing costs and timelines visible across multiple projects. You’ll also help us get smarter as we grow: building strong vendor relationships, finding better pricing, and creating purchasing processes that work across an expanding pipeline of shops.

YOU'LL CRUSH THIS ROLE IF YOU...

• Have 3 years experience in purchasing, procurement, or sourcing, ideally for restaurant, retail, construction, or other location openings.
• Know how to compare bids, negotiate with vendors, and manage orders from approved specifications through delivery.
• Can juggle multiple projects and lead times while keeping costs, deadlines, and details straight.
• Are comfortable using spreadsheets and purchasing trackers to give teams a clear picture of what’s ordered, what’s coming, and what needs attention.
• Build strong relationships with vendors and internal partners, and follow through when something goes off track.
• Spot delays and cost changes early, bring solutions, and know when to escalate a decision.
• Are digging our BIG V.I.B.E.S. (Vibrancy, Integrity, Belonging, Energy, and Seize the Moment).

WHAT YOU’LL REALLY BE DOING

• Build a purchasing plan for each new shop using approved specifications, budgets, construction schedules, and required delivery dates.

• Lead competitive bids and negotiate pricing, terms, and service expectations in partnership with Supply Chain.
• Maintain the purchasing schedule for every active project, tracking orders, costs, lead times, shipping, delivery, and installation status.
• Follow up with vendors throughout production and shipping so delays are identified before they affect construction or opening day.
• Coordinate deliveries with vendors, Construction, and General Contractors based on site readiness. Resolve damaged, missing, or incorrect items.
• Track purchasing commitments and costs against approved budgets, and flag changes or risks to Construction and Finance.
• Strengthen vendor relationships and improve purchasing standards, tools, and processes as CYM grows.
