Our GMs are right at the heart of their cafés, leading from the floor, building brilliant teams, getting to know their regulars and creating the kind of place people genuinely want to work in and visit.\nYou’ll have the freedom to make your café your own, backed by a business that believes great hospitality starts with great people.\nWhat you'll be doing\nYou’ll take ownership of the whole café: your people, your customers, your community and your numbers.\nThat means you’ll:\nBuild, lead and develop an incredible café team.\n\nCreate a culture where people feel valued, challenged and able to grow.\n\nDeliver consistently brilliant hospitality, even when there’s a queue out the door.\n\nKnow your business inside out, from sales and labour to waste and profitability.\n\nRecruit great people and develop the next generation of Boston leaders.\n\nMake your café part of its local community, building relationships beyond our four walls.\n\nKeep standards high across food, coffee, safety and everything in between.\n\nLook for opportunities to grow your café rather than simply keeping it ticking over.\n\nWho we're looking for\nYou don't need to have worked at Boston before, but you do need to love hospitality and love leading people.\nYou might already be a General Manager, Restaurant Manager or Store Manager, or you could be a brilliant Assistant Manager who's ready for the next step.\nMore importantly, you'll be someone who:\nFuels Growth\nYou want to make things better. You develop people, understand your numbers and aren't afraid to set ambitious goals.\nLeads Responsibly\nYou do the right thing, even when nobody's watching. You take ownership, set the standard and create an environment where your team can thrive.\nMakes Connections\nYou know hospitality is about people. You build genuine relationships with your team, your customers and the community around your café.\nWhat's in it for you?\nWe want Boston to be somewhere you can build a career, not just have a job.\nAlongside your salary, you'll get a great package of Boston benefits, plenty of development and the support to become an even better leader.\nYou'll also get something increasingly rare in hospitality: a role built around daytime trading, without the late-night finishes.\nAnd because we're an independent business, you'll have the space to bring your personality and ideas to your café. We don't want 22 identical GMs running 22 identical cafés. We want brilliant leaders creating brilliant Boston teams.\nGood Eggs Only\nWe've been doing things a little differently since 1995.\nWe were the first coffee chain in the world to completely remove single-use takeaway cups. We care about the communities we're part of, the impact we have and, most importantly, the people who make Boston what it is.\nSo if you're ambitious, commercially switched-on, genuinely care about people and believe hospitality should feel human, we'd love to hear from you.\nCome and run a café you can be proud of.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3138,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-14T07:53:52Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":11,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.41,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":73,"expected_fill_days":26,"reasons":["conf:5","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-14T13:20:59Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/boston-tea-party-general-manager-3","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/boston-tea-party-general-manager-3.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-14T13:20:59Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":13577,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2872682},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2872682"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fboston-tea-party-general-manager-3"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fboston-tea-party-general-manager-3"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fboston-tea-party-general-manager-3"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/boston-tea-party-general-manager-3\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fboston-tea-party-general-manager-3"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4306379}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"bostonteaparty.co.uk","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4306379},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
