Manage Operations & Maximize Performance

• Oversee scheduling, inventory management, safety, compliance, and facility upkeep to ensure seamless day-to-day operations.
• Ensure product selection and displays align with premium visual standards, customer demand and seasonal trends.

• Guest ratings, return visits & referral rates (customer satisfaction and word-of-mouth growth)
• Labor efficiency & EBITDA (profitability and operational effectiveness)
• Team performance on individual sales goals (your team's ability to achieve their individual sales goals) 

Performance-Based Incentives & Bonus Structure

• Quarterly performance bonuses based on achieving your store's profitability plan and guest satisfaction targets.
• Team-based rewards when store KPIs are met, ensuring alignment on collective success.
