Cafe Manager | Beverly Hills
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes "About Us" (but we shouldn't repeat job title). The "About Us" is more about company; we could treat as "About the role"? Actually "About Us" is generic company description; but we can include as "About the role"? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content accordingly. The posting includes "About Us" (company mission) and then "As a Cafe Manager...". That could be considered "About the role". We'll include that as About the role.
Responsibilities: there is a big block with People, Product, Operational and Brand Excellence, Neighborhood Performance. We'll put under Responsibilities.
Qualifications: there is a "Qualifications" heading with bullet points. We'll include that.
Skills: there is a "Skills" heading with bullet list.
Benefits & Perks: includes salary range and benefits. So we need Pay and Benefits sections. The instruction: include Pay and Schedule only if posting actually states them. Pay: they give salary range $75,000-$85,000 annual salary. So we need a Pay section. Benefits: they list many benefits; we need Benefits section.
Schedule: not mentioned; so omit Schedule.
Requirements: maybe same as Qualifications? The instruction says we can have Requirements section separate from Qualifications. The posting has "Qualifications". We could treat that as Requirements or Qualifications. Since they have both headings possible, we need to decide. The posting includes "Qualifications". We'll output a Qualifications section. Requirements maybe not present; we can omit.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Must keep all details.
We need to format lists with - . For prose use
.
We need to strip boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes some legal text about Fair Chance Act; that's not boilerplate? It's part of Qualifications? It's a statement about considering qualified applicants with criminal history. That's substantive? It's a legal statement but it's part of the posting; we should preserve it? The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. The Fair Chance Act statement is similar to EEO; might be considered boilerplate. However it's specific to California Fair Chance Act; but it's still a legal statement. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we should remove that legal statement. Also the sentence about "Blank Street will consider qualified applicants with a criminal history pursuant to the California Fair Chance Act..." is legal boilerplate; remove.
Also the sentence about "After making a conditional offer..." etc. Remove.
Also the link to calcivilrights.ca.gov/fair-chance-act/ should be removed.
Also the statement about "Blank Street, in good faith, believes that the posted salary range is accurate..." is maybe part of Benefits & Perks but it's a disclaimer; could be considered boilerplate? It's about salary range; it's substantive? It's a disclaimer about salary range; maybe we keep it as part of Pay section? The instruction: do not invent or summarize away detail. It's detail about salary range; we could keep it but it's a disclaimer. I'd keep it as part of Pay section.
Also the bullet list of benefits includes many items; we keep.
