Bastrop, TX (821 W SH 71)

Full-Time | $48,000 Base Salary + Performance Bonus

Total Compensation Opportunity: $60,000–$70,000+ Annually

We aren't looking for someone to manage a coffee shop. We're looking for someone to help build one.

Scooter's Coffee is opening its first Bastrop location and we're searching for a high-energy leader who loves developing people, creating exceptional customer experiences, and building a winning team from the ground up.

As Store Manager, you'll play a critical role in building the team, setting expectations, driving performance, and creating an environment where both employees and customers love coming back.

We believe leadership is service. Our Store Managers lead from the front—making drinks, coaching teammates, connecting with customers, and setting the pace for the entire store. We are developing additional locations in Central Texas. Strong performance in this role can create opportunities for advancement into multi-unit leadership as the organization grows.
