PROPER FOOD

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA

At Proper Food, we make it a cinch to eat well on the run.  We craft our fare by hand fresh every morning the only we know how – with whole, seasonal ingredients sliced, chopped and seasoned with care.  Nothing phony or factory-made.  Just good, proper food that’s packed and ready to go. We cook all our meals from scratch each morning in our commissary kitchen and deliver them to our stores twice a day. At the end of each day, unsold meals are donated to local food banks.

Proper Food launched in San Francisco in 2014 and has rapidly grown to 16 locations in the San Francisco Bay Area, earning accolades from customers, food critics and local media. We are continuing to grow in San Francisco, and in 2019 we started bringing our fresh, honest fare to NYC and redefining ‘fast food’ in way that appeals to the food-savvy and time-starved!

As a Manager-in-Training, you will learn the operations of Proper Food retail locations, training to manage a team of approximately 6-12 employees under the guidance of the Regional Manager. You will be responsible for ongoing store operations within your territory - hiring & training your team, upholding and streamlining processes, liaise between store and kitchen & actively participate in day-to-day store operations. 

Our stores are open primarily Monday – Friday and the MIT must be available to work varied hours during the week, including opening and closing. If you are a strong leader who is passionate about people, energized by the idea of changing the way people eat on the go, enjoy leading and developing a team, and ready for the next step in your career, this may be the position for you.
