Bench General Manager

Bench Store Manager – Northern VA Region
Dash In | Full-Time | Salary
Pay Range: $64,000–$75,000 base salary
Bonus: Up to 5% annual bonus
Territory: Chantilly, VA
Travel Required: Yes – between assigned locations
The Opportunity
Dash In is hiring a Bench Store Manager to support and learn our Northern VA market while preparing to take over a store of your own. This role is ideal for experienced restaurant managers, kitchen managers, or multi-unit leaders who want broader operational exposure, real P&L responsibility, and a clear path to becoming a Store General Manager.
You’ll train alongside seasoned leaders, step in to run stores when needed, and build the skills required to manage a Dash In location independently once placed.
This is not a desk job. It’s hands-on, fast-paced, and built for leaders who know how to run a floor, coach a team, and protect the business.
What You’ll Do
Lead teams on the ground – hire, train, coach, and hold leaders and hourly team members accountable for performance and guest experience
Run high-volume operations – foodservice, retail, and labor in a busy, guest-focused environment
Manage the numbers – own store-level P&L results including sales, margins, labor, and controllable expenses
Execute brand standards – food safety, age verification, cash handling, audits, and guest experience scores
Support multiple locations – travel between Delaware-area stores as business needs require
Train for your next step – gain the experience needed to become a Store General Manager when a location opens
What We’re Looking For
3–5+ years of leadership experience in restaurants, foodservice, retail, or hospitality
Proven ability to lead teams in a fast-paced, high-volume environment
Experience with scheduling, inventory, ordering, and labor control
Comfort owning results and making decisions on the floor
P&L exposure strongly preferred
High school diploma or GED required (college coursework a plus)
ServSafe certification (or ability to obtain)
Working knowledge of Microsoft Office (Outlook, Excel, Word)
Willingness to travel between sites and work a flexible schedule including nights, weekends, and holidays
