Full Job Description

Operating Partner

MN TRADERS CO. | PEQUOT LAKES, MINNESOTA

MN Traders Co. is a coffee-to-cocktail eatery in downtown Pequot Lakes, where locals and visitors come to gather, relax, socialize, work, and create. Craft coffee and breakfast in the morning, lunch through the afternoon, cocktails and shareable plates as the day winds down. It has become one of the genuine gathering places in the Brainerd Lakes Area, and we intend to keep it that way while continuing to grow.

We are looking for an Operating Partner to lead the business day to day. Ownership will stay involved in the brand, creative direction, and long-term strategy, while the operation, the team, and the financial performance of the restaurant will belong to you.

The Position

As Operating Partner, you are responsible for the whole of it: the people, the systems, the profitability, and the experience our guests have every time they walk through the door.

You will begin by getting to know the business alongside ownership, including the brand, the team, the menu, the numbers, and the way we operate today. From there the business is yours to lead, and we mean that to include growing it. We would like to see this concept reach further than it currently does, and we are interested in a leader who has ideas about extending our hours, our programming, and our revenue, and who can make the case for those ideas and then execute them.

Responsibilities

Team

Recruit, hire, onboard, develop, and when necessary let go of staff across the front and back of house

Build a group of shift leaders capable of running a service on their own

Set schedules, wages, and staffing levels within the approved labor budget

Handle performance, attendance, conflict, and workplace expectations

Create job descriptions, training standards, and paths for people to advance

Operations

Run daily execution across the cafe, the kitchen, and the bar

Build and maintain operating procedures, checklists, prep systems, and training materials

Keep the front and back of house working well together

Maintain service quality, cleanliness, food safety, and regulatory compliance

Resolve everyday team, vendor, and guest issues without needing ownership involved

Menu and Guest Experience

Evaluate how the menu is performing on consistency, complexity, pricing, and margin

Adjust items, recipes, pricing, and service procedures within our brand and financial guidelines

Lead seasonal launches, events, and community programming

Hold the standard across coffee, food, cocktails, and hospitality

Respond to guest feedback directly and promptly

Financial Performance

Manage labor, cost of goods, waste, and controllable expenses against budget

Review weekly sales, labor, and cost reporting, and act on what it tells you

Build reliable inventory, ordering, receiving, and cost control systems

Give ownership clear, concise reporting on how the business is performing

Take ownership of the results that fall within your control

Vendors and Administration

Manage vendor relationships, purchasing, and service expectations

Approve routine operating expenses within budget

Keep licenses, certifications, and required documentation current

Coordinate repairs and facility needs within approved spending limits

Working With Ownership

Your team reports to you. We will make it clear to every employee that you are their point of contact and that questions, concerns, and day-to-day communication run through you. If someone brings us something routine, we will send them back to you.

The only things we take on ourselves are matters of safety, legal exposure, or a concern involving you directly. Everything else comes back to you.

What ownership brings is business leadership and structure, accounting, marketing and branding, and years of customer service across the group. Running a restaurant day to day is not on that list, which is why this role exists. Bring us in early on anything affecting the brand, the guest experience, or where the business is headed. The rest is yours to move on without checking first.

Ownership approval is required for capital purchases above an agreed threshold, spending outside the approved budget, changes to the service model, changes to the concept or brand, and any legal, lease, debt, or ownership matter. Everything else is yours to decide.

Compensation

Base salary of $70,000 per year. We also cover cellphone reimbursement and provide a credit toward a health care plan of your choosing.

Ownership Opportunity

We are looking for a true partner in this business, someone who stays for years and is rewarded for every one of them.

Beyond salary, the Operating Partner earns a share in the ownership value of MN Traders Co., tied to the growth and profitability of the business. Participation costs you nothing. There is no buy-in, no capital contribution, and no debt or personal liability at any point. You earn it by performing.

Finalists receive written documentation covering exactly how participation is earned, how it vests, and how it pays out.

Who We Are Looking For

Several years leading a restaurant, cafe, bar, or comparable hospitality operation

A real command of labor, cost of goods, and margin, with results you can speak to

A track record of hiring, developing, and keeping both hourly staff and managers

Comfort in both the front and the back of the house

The judgment to change an established business without taking apart what already works

This is a hands-on role, particularly through the transition, and it will ask for your presence during peak season, weekends, and holidays.

To Apply

Send your resume and a short note to [email protected] telling us about the operation you have run, a team or business you materially improved, and what you would want to understand about MN Traders Co. before taking it on.

Pay: From $70,000.00 per year

Benefits:

401(k)
401(k) matching
Dental insurance
