General Manager

General Manager — 6th Street Deli

About Us

6th Street Deli has been serving authentic New York-style deli food since 2020. Owner-operated by a veteran of the New York deli industry with decades of hands-on experience, we're known for fresh kettle-boiled bagels, Boar's Head deli meats and cheeses, house-made salads and cream cheese spreads, Lavazza Italian coffee, catering, and online ordering. We're community-focused, quality-obsessed, and proud of what we put on every plate.

The Role

This is a hands-on leadership position. As General Manager, you'll be responsible for the day-to-day operations of our location — from the moment the doors open in the morning to the time they close at night. You'll work closely with the owner, uphold the quality standards that have made 6th Street Deli a success, and build a team that takes real pride in what they do.

This isn't a corporate management job. It's a role for someone who genuinely loves the deli business, cares about the product, and wants to be part of building something.

Responsibilities

• Oversee daily operations including opening and closing procedures
• Manage and schedule a team of 3 to 8 staff members
• Ensure food quality, consistency, and proper food handling standards at all times
• Handle inventory management, ordering, and vendor relationships
• Monitor labor and food costs and help maintain efficient operations
• Deliver an exceptional customer experience — lead by example on the floor
• Train, support, and hold staff accountable to deli standards
• Communicate directly with the owner on performance, staffing, and operations
• Assist with catering coordination and online order fulfillment as needed

What We're Looking For

• 2–3 years of restaurant or deli management experience required
• New York-style deli experience is a strong plus
• ServSafe certification or equivalent food safety training preferred
• Strong leadership skills — you know how to get the best out of a small team
• Clear communicator with both staff and customers
• Reliable, organized, and detail-oriented
• Available mornings (we open at 8am), weekends, and holidays
• A genuine commitment to quality and consistency, every single shift

What We Offer

• $45,000 – $55,000 per year, commensurate with experience
• Meal discounts
• A real opportunity to grow with an expanding brand
• A team-oriented, owner-led culture where your work is seen and appreciated
• Direct reporting to the owner — no layers, no politics
