Role
Store Manager
The hiring challenge
The store manager answers for the whole site: team, register, inventory, customers and sanitary compliance, often without a superior present. The challenge is finding someone who leads a high-turnover team, sustains service during the peak and handles the register with integrity. It is a role where a failure is multiplied across the whole shift.
What to assess
Leadership of a high-turnover team, integral operational management of the site and integrity in handling the register and inventory.
