We are seeking leaders who thrive in dynamic, high-stakes environments and are energized by the challenge of building something remarkable.
As part of the Pret US team, you will work directly with seasoned leaders who understand turnarounds, scaling operations, and delivering results. If you are driven to exceed ambitious goals, make bold decisions, and build a brand that matters, this is where you belong.
Join us in writing the next chapter of Pret in America.
As a General Manager at Pret, you are the hero of the shop. You oversee all aspects of shop operations from staffing and scheduling to inventory management, ensuring the business runs efficiently, profitably, and with heart. You are responsible for driving sales and profitability while creating a positive, inclusive, and high-energy environment where both guests and team members thrive.
Our Managers are our in-shop Heroes. They protect the things that make Pret by keeping standards high, spirits high, and guests happy. When the shop gets busy, you lead from the front, whether that means rolling up your sleeves at the coffee machine (with training, of course) or diving into the P&L to improve margins.
