What You'll Do (aka Why This Role Is Awesome):

As a Retail Manager, Integrations Group, you're the go-to expert for launching, leveling up, and stabilizing retail food service operations across the country. You lead the onboarding of retail teams onto TouchPoint's standardized retail platform-bringing consistency, clarity, and confidence to every transition.

You'll work hands-on with teams during operational changes, system implementations, and performance optimization, ensuring retail concepts, merchandising standards, POS systems, and financial controls don't just roll out, but stick. Once operations are running smoothly and results are strong, you partner with field teams to support on-site execution, ensuring a seamless transition and shared accountability-mission accomplished.

This is a national, field-based role, not a permanent unit assignment. It's built for seasoned retail operators who love variety, thrive in fast-paced environments, and know how to teach, implement, and elevate performance across multiple locations.

What Sets You Apart:

• You're "an expert" in retail foodservice
• You're confident walking into a new operation and making it better
• You can train, influence, and stabilize teams quickly
• You know how to partner with Operations, Finance, and Technology to get results

If you love making things work better-and helping teams succeed while doing it- this role puts you right at the center of the action.

The Power of Partnership (aka Your Superpowers):

• Build trust and influence outcomes through relationships, insight, and action-not hierarchy
• Work comfortably across teams, functions, and leadership levels to bring people together and get things done
• Communicate clearly, confidently, and with purpose-whether you're writing, presenting, or leading a conversation
• Drive meaningful dialogue and collaboration that strengthens programs, processes, and the overall team experience

How You Think & Work (The Brains Behind the Magic):

• Handle employee, client, and company information with care, discretion, and integrity-trust matters here
• Make sense of complex information in fast-moving environments, turning data into insights and clear, actionable recommendations
• Break down complex ideas and communicate them in a way that's clear, concise, and easy to understand-whether speaking or writing
• Bring strong technical skills to the table, with intermediate to advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office and OMS and food cost software platforms

Your Mission (How You Make an Impact):

• Lead the onboarding of retail teams onto TouchPoint's standardized retail operating platform, setting teams up for long-term success from day one
• Implement and reinforce retail concepts, merchandising standards, and pricing strategies that drive consistency and results
• Partner with Technology to support POS Agilysys implementations or similar systems & enhancements, and user adoption
• Complies with federal, state and local health and sanitation regulations and department sanitation procedures while maintaining a clean, sanitary population and contract
• Complies with regulatory agencies, including federal, state, and Joint Commission as evidenced by successful completion of surveys with no deficiencies
• Ensure financial controls, inventory management, and reporting processes are executed accurately and consistently in the retail and catering locations
• Train unit leaders on retail execution, labor management, and performance tracking best practices. Patient rounding with a purpose is a daily task
• Oversees the evaluation of and discipline of retail location employees, as applicable and according to departmental policy & playbook
• Complies with dietary restrictions on special or modified diets to ensure optimal food preferences are met within guidelines, for food served within retail & catering locations
• Completes all required documentation, reports and logs in a timely, professional and thorough manner
• Identify performance gaps and implement corrective actions to improve sales, margin, and overall retail performance
• Stabilize operations during transitions and confidently transition ownership back to regional leadership teams
• Complies with production, safety handling and quality food standards related to patient food services
• Follows facility and department safety policies and procedures to include occurrence reporting
• Participates and attends all departmental meetings, staff development, and professional programs, as appropriate
• Adheres to Emergency Preparedness Program. Participates in disaster drills as appropriate
• Understanding Patient Satisfaction monitoring (ie, Press Ganey, PRC, Qualtrics, etc)
• Follows the facility's protocols for Hazardous Materials and Waste Program.
• Adheres to facility confidentiality, HIPAA and patient rights policies
• Performs other tasks that may be assigned

Bottom line: You bring structure, clarity, and momentum-then hand off a stronger operation than you found.

• Bachelor's degree in business, Hospitality, or related field preferred

• Strong knowledge of POS systems, financial controls, and retail analytics
