Crumbl is entrusting us with their powerful and popular brand, and we need a manager who is excited for the opportunity (and challenge) that comes with it. Our store is under construction - we plan to open in mid-2025 - but we're looking to fill this manager role ASAP. Thorough training resources will be available immediately upon hiring, because we want to do everything we can to help our manager hit the ground running. This person will play a large role in helping get the store set up (including hiring employees) before we open.
In the months prior to opening, your ability to regularly work (even if only on a part-time hourly basis, before transitioning to full-time salary) at the existing Crumbl store in East Lansing is an absolute must, so your training can be as comprehensive and effective as possible.

Duties for the general manager will include allocating budget resources, formulating and upholding policies, coordinating business operations, monitoring and motivating staff, managing operational costs, ensuring good customer service, improving administration processes, engaging with vendors, hiring and training employees, identifying business opportunities, and monitoring financial activities. Your entrepreneurial spirit and vision in directing business functions will assist our organization in maintaining relationships with clients, generating new business, increasing staff productivity, improving service, ensuring sustainability, and meeting business objectives.
The successful candidate for this role must possess excellent communication and time management skills, superior knowledge of business functions, an exceptional ability to handle stressful situations, and strong leadership qualities.
