Pennys Bagels is getting ready to open in Haddonfield, NJ, and we're looking for an energetic, organized, and hands-on Assistant Manager to help bring our neighborhood bagel shop to life.

This isn't a stand-on-the-sidelines management position. We're looking for someone who loves hospitality, enjoys leading a team, and isn't afraid to jump behind the counter, make a coffee, run food, or help wherever the day takes them.

You'll work closely with our General Manager to build a great team, deliver excellent guest experiences, and keep daily operations running smoothly.

What You'll Do

• Support the General Manager with daily shop operations.

• Lead opening and closing procedures.

• Supervise, coach, and motivate front-of-house team members.

• Help manage counter service, coffee operations, and guest experience.

• Support staff training, scheduling, and shift coverage.

• Monitor service standards, cleanliness, and food safety.

• Assist with inventory, ordering, receiving, and administrative tasks.

• Coordinate with the kitchen team to keep service running efficiently.

• Help troubleshoot issues and make confident decisions during service.

What We're Looking For

• Previous leadership experience in a café, restaurant, bakery, deli, or quick-service environment.

• Strong communication and organizational skills.

• A genuine love of hospitality and working with people.

• Comfort with POS systems and daily cash-handling procedures.

• Ability to stay calm, positive, and productive during busy service.

• A team-first attitude and willingness to work alongside the staff.

• Availability for early mornings, weekends, and holidays.

Why Pennys?

We're building a neighborhood spot with personality, great food, and a team that genuinely enjoys working together. As an opening team member, you'll have the opportunity to help establish our standards, culture, and daily operations from day one.
