General Manager - Operating Partner

About the Role

At Café Zupas, we serve house-made and globally-inspired soups, salads, sandwiches, and desserts in our next generation kitchens. You’ll find real, whole food that is prepared daily on-site, and we believe our team is the key to what makes our concept so incredible. With every decision we make, we ask if it is right for our team members and our guests. It’s why we source the best ingredients, make everything in-house, and mentor team members each day. We believe it’s the only way to do business. Each year, General Managers earn an all-expenses-paid international incentive trip for two — recent trips have included a 5-star safari in Africa and a visit to Victoria Falls.
