    About Us

    R & R Breakfast Spot is a family-owned restaurant brand rooted in culture, community, and soul-forward food. Built on the values of leadership, accountability, and excellence, we are growing beyond day-to-day service into catering, events, and multi-stream operations.

    We are seeking a Director of Operations — someone who can be an extension of the owner and confidently lead all areas of the business. We are a very small restaurant with a huge potential for growth. We are seeking someone who is committed to growing with us. This role requires consistent availability on weekends which is our busiest time, this means both Saturday AND Sunday. The perk to this role is that we close at 3pm every day so most times, you are gone by around 4:30 for the day.

    Role Summary

    The Director of Operations is the owner’s right hand. This role requires someone who can step into any position as needed while also managing the business at a high level. You will oversee daily restaurant operations, financial performance, staffing, catering logistics, and administrative systems.

    This is not a standard manager role. This position requires leadership, adaptability, and strong business instincts.

    This person should be trainable in all areas of the restaurant and adaptable to learning the way that we do things. They should also have kitchen experience such as cooking, inventory control, and waste management.
