Job description

General Manager

At Blank Street, we believe that rituals matter, and that great rituals make your life better. With coffee shops across the US and UK, we are working to transform the high street grab-and-go coffee transaction into an experience that is higher in quality, hospitality, and joy.

What's Brewing

Cafe Managers are accountable for training all team members, leading from the front on facilities, product and customer service expectations, conducting proper inventory management, practicing effective performance management of team members, hiring and developing great talent, business growth and improvement. Cafe Managers may also support light project work directed at growing the overall business and their individual skills.

Our Values

  • Magic is in the Details : We value attention to detail in everything we do. We're always thinking about the small things that make a moment meaningful.
