District Manager – The Millburn Deli
Location: New Jersey (On-Site)
Reports to: CEO
About Us
The Millburn Deli is more than a sandwich shop—we’re a premium brand built on quality, community, and crave-worthy creations that people can’t stop talking about. With multiple locations and rapid growth ahead, we’re looking for a driven, hands-on District Manager to set the standard and ensure excellence across several stores, build winning teams, and make sure every guest leaves saying, “That’s my new favorite place.”
About the Role
As District Manager, you’ll directly oversee multiple Millburn Deli locations, working shoulder-to-shoulder with store managers to deliver operational excellence every single day. You’ll be in the field more than at a desk—coaching managers, spotting issues before they become problems, and making the kind of decisions that move the needle fast. This is for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, loves developing people, and knows how to get results without drowning in corporate red tape.
What You’ll Do
- Run the district like it’s yours – Visit stores regularly, set high expectations, and make sure each one meets quality, speed, and service standards.
- Lead & develop store managers – Coach, mentor, and hold them accountable so they and their teams operate at peak performance.
- Protect the brand – Keep the Millburn Deli experience premium and consistent across every location.
- Drive the numbers – Work with managers to hit sales, labor, and cost goals without compromising the guest experience.
- Make it better – Find ways to streamline operations, boost efficiency, and keep customers coming back.
- Maintain compliance & safety – Hold every store to high standards for cleanliness, food safety, and regulations.
- Support growth – Be a key player in opening new stores and getting them running smoothly from day one.
Who You Are
- Experienced Multi-Unit Leader – 3 years in a district, area, or multi-unit management role in restaurants or hospitality.
- Hands-On Operator – You lead from the front, not just from an office.
- Results-Driven – You know your KPIs and how to move them.
- Strong People Manager – You build teams that perform and stay.
- Customer-Focused – You obsess over delivering a standout guest experience.
- Organized & Efficient – You can juggle multiple priorities and still see the big picture.
Why Join Us?
- Be part of a premium, fast-growing brand with serious momentum.
- See the direct impact of your leadership - without the bureaucracy.
- Competitive salary, benefits, and performance incentives that reward results.
- Real growth opportunities as we expand into new markets.
