Full Job Description

General Manager — Tropical Smoothie Cafe ( Bearden )

About the Role

Tropical Smoothie Cafe is looking for an experienced General Manager to lead our team and run the day-to-day of a fast-paced, fast-casual café. You'll own the guest experience, develop and schedule the team, and drive the numbers that keep the store healthy — food cost, labor, and speed of service. If you've run a quick-service or fast-casual location and you like building a crew that takes pride in fast, friendly, high-quality service, we'd like to talk to you.

What You'll Do

Run daily café operations end to end — smoothie and food quality, service speed, cleanliness, and a great guest experience open to close.
Lead the team: hire, onboard, train, schedule, and coach staff to a high standard of performance and hospitality.
Hit your numbers — manage labor and food-cost percentages to target, review P&L, and put cost controls in place where they're needed.
Own inventory and ordering through SynergySuite to keep the store stocked while minimizing waste.
Run the POS (PAR Brink) for accurate ordering, cash handling, daily deposits, and sales reconciliation.
Manage smoothie and food prep to Tropical Smoothie Cafe recipe and presentation standards for consistency in every cup and every wrap.
Oversee third-party delivery and mobile/online orders (DoorDash, Uber Eats, and app orders) for accuracy and on-time handoff.
Uphold food safety and workplace safety standards in compliance with health regulations at all times.
Support local-store marketing and community engagement to grow sales.
Resolve guest issues quickly and professionally, and keep shift transitions smooth during peak periods.

What We're Looking For

Proven management or assistant-management experience in a quick-service or fast-casual restaurant, with direct responsibility for a team.
Working knowledge of inventory control, food and labor cost management, scheduling, and basic P&L.
Comfortable with restaurant POS and inventory systems — experience with PAR Brink and SynergySuite is a plus, but we'll train the right person.
Strong communication and leadership skills: able to train, motivate, and hold a team accountable while keeping the culture positive.
Solid food-safety knowledge (ServSafe certification or willingness to obtain).
Dependable, calm under pressure, and able to keep quality and speed up during a rush.
Basic math comfort for daily operational and financial tasks.

Compensation & Schedule

Pay: $19–$22/hour base, plus $2–$4/hour in tip share — an effective $21–$26/hour (roughly $44,000–$54,000/year full-time). We pay GMs hourly specifically so they share in tips.
Schedule: Full-time, approximately 35-40 hours/week.

Benefits

Tip share on every shift
Discounted meals and smoothies
Flexible, unlimited time off — as long as the café is running smoothly and can operate without you present
Monthly bonuses based on key KPI performance
Real growth opportunity — we're expanding to at least two more local stores, and we promote from within

Physical Requirements

Able to stand and move for extended shifts
Able to lift up to 50 lbs
Comfortable working in a fast-paced café environment

Pay: $19.00 - $22.00 per hour

Benefits:

Employee discount
Flexible schedule
Paid training

Work Location: In person
