Dash In is hiring a Bench Store Manager to support and learn our Delaware market while preparing to take over a store of your own. This role is ideal for experienced restaurant managers, kitchen managers, or multi‑unit leaders who want broader operational exposure, real P&L responsibility, and a clear path to becoming a Store General Manager
.
You’ll train alongside seasoned leaders, step in to run stores when needed, and build the skills required to manage a Dash In location independently once placed.
This is not a desk job. It’s hands‑on, fast‑paced, and built for leaders who know how to run a floor, coach a team, and protect the business.
What You’ll Do- Lead teams on the ground – hire, train, coach, and hold leaders and hourly team members accountable for performance and guest experience
- Run high‑volume operations – food service, retail, and labor in a busy, guest‑focused environment
- Manage the numbers – own store‑level P&L results including sales, margins, labor, and controllable expenses
- Execute brand standards – food safety, age verification, cash handling, audits, and guest experience scores
- Support multiple locations – travel between Delaware‑area stores as business needs require
- Train for your next step – gain the experience needed to become a Store General Manager when a location opens
- 3–5+ years of leadership experience in restaurants, food service, retail, or hospitality
- Proven ability to lead teams in a fast‑paced, high‑volume environment
- Experience with scheduling, inventory, ordering, and labor control
- Comfort owning results and making decisions on the floor
- P&L exposure strongly preferred
- High school diploma or GED required (college coursework a plus)
- Serv Safe certification (or ability to obtain)
- Working knowledge of Microsoft Office (Outlook, Excel, Word)
- Willingness to travel between sites and work a flexible schedule including nights, weekends, and holidays
- Flexible schedule based on business needs (this is a 24/7 operation)
- Travel between Delaware locations required
- Initial training may occur outside your home location (accommodations provided if needed)
- Acts as the store leader during General Manager absences once trained
- Clear path to becoming a Store General Manager
- Exposure to multiple locations
- Strong fit for restaurant leaders ready to expand beyond the kitchen or dining room
- Real responsibility, real authority, real expectations
