About Stone Street Cafe
Stone Street Cafe is a neighborhood coffee spot in the heart of Lower Manhattan, serving quality coffee, fresh food, and a welcoming space for locals and visitors alike. We're looking for a hands-on manager to run day-to-day operations, lead our team, and keep the cafe running smoothly and profitably.
The Role
As Cafe Manager, you'll own the operational, financial, and people-management side of the cafe. You'll lead a small team, keep our shelves stocked and our costs in check, and make sure every guest has a great experience. This is a leadership role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced food-service environment and takes pride in running a tight, well-organized operation.
Responsibilities
• Team leadership: Hire, train, schedule, and supervise baristas and front-of-house staff; set the tone for a positive, high-performing workplace.
• Inventory management: Track stock levels, set and maintain par levels, place and reconcile orders, minimize waste, and manage vendor relationships — all using inventory management software.
• Financial oversight: Handle daily cash management and register reconciliation, control labor and cost-of-goods within clear monthly targets (COGS% and labor cost%), and work toward budget and margin goals.
• Customer experience: Ensure consistent, high-quality service and resolve guest issues promptly and professionally.
• Quality control: Maintain standards for food and beverage quality, presentation, and consistency.
• Compliance: Uphold NYC Department of Health standards for food safety, sanitation, and workplace safety.
• Daily operations: Manage opening and closing procedures, POS systems, equipment upkeep, and general facilities.
• Reporting: Monitor sales, labor, and inventory data to identify trends and improvement opportunities.
Requirements
•3+ years of management experience in a cafe, coffee shop, restaurant, or similar food-service setting.
• Exceptionally organized, structured, and detail-oriented — you build and stick to systems for inventory, ordering, and scheduling, and you catch the small things before they become problems.
• Hands-on experience with inventory management software (e.g., MarginEdge)
• Proven ability to lead, schedule, and develop a team.
• Strong understanding of food safety, sanitation, and health-code compliance.
• NYC Food Protection Certificate, or the ability to obtain one within 30 days of hire.
• Comfort with POS systems and basic business/financial reporting.
• Availability for early mornings, weekends, and holidays as needed.
• Excellent communication skills and a calm, solutions-oriented approach under pressure.
Nice to Have
• Specialty coffee or barista background.
• Experience managing vendor contracts and negotiating pricing.
• Can communicate in Spanish
• Familiarity with scheduling and payroll tools.
What We Offer
•$18–$21 per hour, plus tips (approximately $400–$500 per week in tips)
• Meal benefits during shifts
• Free coffee
• Advancement opportunities as the cafe grows — a clear, performance-based path to take on more responsibility for the right person
