Job Description
Store Manager | SomiSomi The Woodlands Shenandoah, TX | Full Time | $45,000/yr
About the Role
We're a Korean-Japanese soft serve and taiyaki shop in Shenandoah, TX. Small space, focused menu, team of 13 to 15 part-timers. No kitchen line, no servers, no bar, and we're cashless.
The role is fast-paced, but it doesn't compare to running a full-service restaurant. If you want a long-term home where you can lead a team and run a store without the weight of a full restaurant on your shoulders, this is it.
This is not a clock-in, clock-out job. You are responsible for the store even when you're not in it. If something goes wrong on your day off, you're the one who gets the call. If a team member doesn't show up, you find the solution. If the store isn't at standard, that's on you — not whoever was working.
We're looking for someone who takes ownership without being asked, catches problems before they become complaints, and genuinely cares whether the store runs well.
If that sounds exhausting, this probably isn't the right fit. If that sounds like exactly how you already operate , we'd love to meet you.
What You'll Earn
- First 2 weeks (Training): $15/hr — minimum 40 hours per week
- After training: $40,000/year base salary + up to $5,000/year in quarterly performance bonuses = up to $45, 000/year total
Each quarterly bonus is $1,000 and is tied to a transparent scorecard covering team management, customer experience, and operational standards. You know exactly what you're being measured on.
Responsibilities
- Daily store operations and floor leadership
- A team of 13 to 15 part-timers: hiring, onboarding, training, coaching, and accountability
- Building and managing the schedule
- Inventory counts, submissions, and vendor ordering
- Machine cleaning standards and training
- Health and corporate inspection readiness
- Customer experience and online review management
- Station standards across register, taiyaki, ahboong, swirling, and toppings
- Performance documentation and addressing issues as they happen
- Proactive communication with directors
- Keeping up with SomiSomi announcements, changes, and new menu items
This Role Is Not for Everyone
We need someone who:
- Shows up mentally even on their days off
- Solves problems instead of reporting them and waiting
- Holds the team to a standard without being asked
- Treats the store like it's theirs
- Never cuts corners because no one is watching
- Understands that a bad review, a dirty floor, or a no-call no-show is their problem to fix — not someone else's
If you're looking for a stepping stone or a title to put on a resume, please don't apply. If you're someone who takes pride in running a tight operation and wants a place to plant roots and grow — this is for you.
Schedule
- Minimum 40 hours per week. Some weeks will require more.
- 5 days per week.
- A typical week mixes opens, closes, and mid shifts based on coverage needs.
- Open availability across all store hours is required. Weekends and holidays are non-negotiable.
What We're Looking For
- Prior management or supervisory experience in food service (2 years minimum)
- Strong communicator — verbal and written
- Comfortable being firm, direct, and holding a team accountable
- Calm under pressure and decisive on your feet
- Comfortable with a laptop for scheduling, messaging, and basic admin
- Open availability as listed above
- Looking for a long-term home, not a stepping stone
- GED or higher
- Texas Food Manager's Certification — or willingness to obtain within 60 days (we'll reimburse you)
- Must be able to commute to Shenandoah, TX 77385
Benefits
- Health, dental, and vision insurance (eligible after 90 days — company contributes $200/month)
- 5 days paid time off after 6 months
- Paid training
