Mama’s Boy Pizza is a high-volume, QSR model pizza shop serving some of the Bay Area’s best whole pies and slices. We opened our Oakland location in 2023 and have been growing in volume and notoriety ever since. After being named top 15 restaurants of 2023 by the SF Chronicle, Mama's Boy went on to be named Top 10 Slice Shops in America by 50 Top Pizza Awards in 24', 25' and 26'. We love what we do, we love pizza and, of course, we love our Moms.
Mama's Boy is now expanding, with a new location in the heart of San Leandro's vibrant downtown slated to open in late November/early December. We are looking for a dedicated, passionate and experienced restaurant manager ("Store Manager") to lead our San Leandro team and the daily operations of this new store. The person selected for this role would join our team at the Oakland location in early October and train with us there while helping us get ready to open the San Leandro store.
About the Role
The Store Manager is responsible for the full day-to-day management, performance, and culture of the restaurant. You’ll oversee everything from team leadership and guest experience to financial results, labor control, and operational excellence. While supported by active ownership, a Director of Operations, a Head Pizza Chef, an HR/Admin Coordinator, and a Bookkeeper, this position is the ultimate on-site leader and the buck stops with you.
Equally important, this role requires knowledge of our pizza-making process. The Store Manager will train alongside our kitchen leaders to learn every step - from dough fermentation, mixing and handling to stretching, topping, cooking and slicing - ensuring you understand the core of what makes Mama’s Boy Pizza great.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and develop a strong, motivated, and professional team that embodies the Mama’s Boy Pizza brand and hospitality culture.
- Learn, master, and reinforce our full pizza production process - from prep and cooking to quality control.
- Oversee all front and back-of-house operations to ensure speed, accuracy, cleanliness, and quality.
- Manage daily scheduling, inventory, costs of goods, and labor costs to achieve profitability goals.
- Maintain high standards for guest satisfaction and team performance, addressing issues proactively.
- Coordinate operations between the dine-in/counter area and the online-order kitchen.
- Recruit, hire, train, and coach staff with support from HR.
- Execute and uphold all health, safety, and sanitation standards.
- Act as the point of escalation for all operational or personnel issues - maintaining consistency, accountability, and follow-through.
What We’re Looking For
- 3–5 years of restaurant management experience in a high-volume, fast-casual or quick-service setting.
- Proven leadership in people development and operations management.
- Hands-on, working knowledge approach - willing and able to get behind the counter when needed.
- Excellent communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.
- Calm and decisive under pressure with a strong “ownership” mentality.
- Flexible schedule availability - nights, weekends, and holidays as needed.
- A passion for great pizza, energized teamwork, and hospitality-driven leadership.
- Driver's license and personal vehicle for transportation.
- Ability to work long hours on your feet and lift up to 50lbs.
Compensation & Benefits
- Base Salary: $85,000
- Performance bonus with strong, uncapped earning potential
- Full medical, dental, and vision insurance
- 401k
- Career growth potential within an expanding brand
