Interim Café General Manager and Chef
We're a growing company and ready to add a growth minded general manager and a busy cafe.
You’ll manage a café full of friendly regulars and growth potential in an easily accessible northern Sacramento location. Daily duties will include interacting with regular customers, preparing made-to-order meals, maintaining a clean and friendly café environment, preparing food for the next days’ menu, and occasional catering. This role will be tasked with managing the cafe through revenue growth and increased customer engagement over a six month period. The role can be extended to a full time goal as long as financial goals are hit.
Efficient and production focused people that enjoy the food and catering industry will be most successful here. You will enjoy this position if you are interested in having much more work-life balance than the typical late-night restaurant scene, and if you want to be a part of a transparent (we are an open book management company) and thriving organization where you will know that you matter and make a difference.
Responsibilities include:
· Meeting revenue goals assigned to the operation.
· Overseeing all staff and maintaining a positive and entrepreneurial workplace culture and environment.

· Act as the liaison between the President of the company and the café staff.
· Be the first communication liaison between the building manager and the café should issues arise.
· Facilitating weekly Great Game of Business meetings.
· Any other duties that are deemed necessary for the successful operation of the café.
· Leading and participating in all food production.
· Creating specials menus as necessary.
· Oversee or create all procurement lists, and maintain any necessary ingredients and paper item inventory as needed.
