Job Details

Looking for more than just another management job? Join our team on beautiful Catalina Island and help lead one of the island's favorite homemade ice cream and coffee shops. We're looking for an experienced, self-motivated manager who enjoys leading people, taking ownership of daily operations, and working directly with ownership to grow the business. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy creating an outstanding customer experience, and are comfortable balancing hands-on leadership with administrative responsibilities, we'd love to meet you.

This is a full-time, year-round management position based in Avalon, Catalina Island. You'll oversee all aspects of the daily operation, including our homemade ice cream production, premium ice cream service, and Starbucks® coffee and espresso beverage program. Responsibilities include leading and developing the team, scheduling, cash management, inventory, ordering, opening and closing procedures, and ensuring smooth day-to-day operations. You'll work closely with ownership, have the autonomy to make decisions, and play an important role in the continued success of the business.

We are a small, hardworking team that values accountability, teamwork, and a positive attitude. This role is ideal for someone who takes initiative, leads by example, and isn't afraid to jump behind the counter during busy shifts. Managers are expected to spend a minimum of four shifts per week working on the floor while also completing administrative and operational responsibilities.

Housing is available for qualified candidates relocating to Catalina Island. If you're looking for an opportunity to live in an incredible destination, lead a great team, and make a meaningful impact in a locally owned business known for its homemade ice cream, we'd love to hear from you.
