The Opportunity

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 – foodservice, 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

What We’re Looking For

3–5+ years of leadership experience in restaurants, foodservice, 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)
ServSafe 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

Schedule, Training & Travel

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

Why This Role Stands Out

Clear path to becoming a Store General Manager
Exposure tomultiple locations
Strong fit for restaurant leaders ready to expand beyond the kitchen or dining room
Real responsibility, real authority, real expectations

If you’ve run shifts, led teams, handled pressure, and want ownership of a full operation—not just a piece of it—this role is worth your time.
