Vacancy

As General Manager you are responsible for the running of a Salsa Shop restaurant. It is a multifunctional role. You make sure orders are placed, you maintain contact with suppliers, and you take care of the finances. You also supervise the cleaning and help with this if necessary. In addition, you draw up the schedules and supervise the team during work. If required, you give a hand in the kitchen or you help serving the customers. Furthermore, you make sure any problems with customers or suppliers are dealt with as soon as possible.

You help recruit and train new Team Members and you help them with their development within Salsa Shop. There is also room to increase revenue by looking for partnerships or something like that.

You start with a General Manager training course that takes approximately four months. After that, you are placed in charge of your own shop. You can decide yourself whether you work the day, afternoon or evening shift and you choose which five days you work. You do make sure you work in different sorts of shifts.

You have to like working with food and you shouldn't mind having to do the dirty work sometimes.

Firsthand experience

When you arrive at the shop, you hear from the kitchen that the lettuce for that day wasn't delivered this morning. What do you do?

First, you check if the lettuce was actually ordered. If that is the case, you check if it’s on the packing list and if got through to the supplier correctly. Before you get in touch with the supplier, you check the current supply. If there is insufficient lettuce in stock, you call the supplier to inform them that the lettuce has not been delivered. You indicate that an express delivery will be required, so that the lettuce is there before the shop opens.

If there is sufficient lettuce to get through the day, you call the supplier to ask why the lettuce wasn’t delivered. You also indicate that it is no longer necessary to deliver the lettuce and ask for a refund. You will receive a number for this, which you have to put in the worksheet. You email this worksheet to the finance department. They will ensure that the money is refunded. You then place an order for the lettuce for the next day to make sure you don’t run out the next day. If needed you can borrow products from another Salsa Shop store.

Growth

As General Manager you are trained to run the shop as your own business. You have the freedom to make independent decisions. You are supported and guided in this by a regional manager (always a former General Manager) who acts as a sparring partner and coach.
