Dartcor is hiring a General Manager to lead a high-end, single-location corporate dining program that includes a flagship café, elevated daily catering, and a curated office pantry program. This is the senior on-site role responsible for day-to-day leadership, operational execution, financial performance, and client partnership.
We’re looking for a sharp operator who runs a clean, disciplined business — strong standards, strong controls, and a team that executes consistently.
What You'll Do:- Own daily operations across café service, catering production/execution, and office pantry programs.
- Lead a high-performing team: hiring, training, scheduling, accountability, and performance management.
- Drive catering performance: accuracy, timing, presentation, packing standards, service execution, and event readiness.
- Manage café execution: speed of service, merchandising, daily readiness, and station-level standards.
- Oversee office pantry programs: inventory, ordering cadence, pars, organization, and presentation.
- Maintain strong client partnership: communication, planning, issue resolution, and weekly business check-ins.
- Own financial performance: labor management, purchasing discipline, waste control, reporting, and forecasting.
- Ensure compliance standards: food safety, cleanliness, brand standards, and consistent operating routines.
- Catering runs like clockwork — on-time, accurate, premium presentation, and repeatable.
- Café execution is consistent: clean stations, fast service, strong merchandising, no surprises.
- Pantry is always stocked, organized, and on-par with clear ordering systems and tight controls.
- The team is stable, trained, and accountable — issues don’t repeat.
- Financials are tight: labor and purchasing are managed proactively, not after the fact.
- 5 years progressive leadership in corporate dining, catering, hospitality, or high-volume foodservice.
- Strong track record in catering operations (high-touch daily catering and events preferred).
- Experience running single-site programs with multiple service lines (café catering pantry).
- Proven ability to lead teams and hold standards consistently.
- Strong financial and operational fundamentals: scheduling, ordering, inventory, and P&L awareness.
- Clear communicator with confidence in front of clients and internal stakeholders.
- Comprehensive Medical, Dental, Life and Vision insurance
- 401(k) to help you invest in your future
- Paid time off to help support your life outside of work
- Work alongside collaborative team members who support Dartcor’s core values
