Director of Operations – Fast-Growing Beverage Brand | Minnesota

Ready to lead with heart and hustle? Join one of Minnesota’s fastest-growing bubble tea brands known for handcrafted quality, joyful vibes, and next-level guest experiences. With 12 locations (and counting), we’re looking for a people-first, culture-forward operator to scale with us.

What You’ll Get

  • Competitive salary + quarterly bonus
  • Full-time benefits
  • All the boba you could want (seriously)
  • Big growth potential in a brand with momentum

What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of multi-unit leadership in food, QSR, or retail
  • Strong command of store-level KPIs (sales, labor, COGS, P&L, guest experience)
  • Hands-on leader who’s not afraid to jump on the line
  • Proven ability to lead, train, and inspire hourly teams — especially teens and young adults
  • Sharp operator with a passion for consistency and team culture
  • Based in (or open to relocating to) Minnesota
  • Willingness to travel regularly between stores

What You’ll Do

  • Oversee and elevate daily ops across 12+ locations
  • Be a visible, trusted presence in stores — coaching, motivating, and mentoring
  • Build up strong Store Manager partnerships to drive performance and retention
  • Own operational excellence: SOPs, systems, training, compliance, and guest satisfaction
  • Lead new store openings and team development
  • Collaborate with partner locations in Colorado and Florida to share best practices

Bring the energy. Grow something joyful. Let’s build this together.
