A coffee & dessert concept, built and run start to finish — then carried to Tempe
The walk-up window at Chandler is real revenue sitting unused. This is the plan to turn it into its own concept — not a bolt-on menu item, a second occasion for a second kind of guest — owned end to end by one person from day one, and built as the template for the same work at Tempe.
Soft serve, shakes, floats, dips and toppings, affogato, and coffee — I'm building it with its own pricing and portioning logic, not adapting it from the core kitchen's. Recipe costing and pour standards locked before anything goes in the window.
I'm carrying an old-school diner and luncheonette direction straight through: physical signage, cup and container packaging, menu-board language, how the window gets talked about — one system, not a logo plus loose parts.
I'm building the prep and pour standards, opening/closing checklists, waste and inventory targets, and a training arc the team can actually absorb on shift — built to run clean without me in the window.
Once the window's rhythm is proven, I'll build out a breakfast sandwich program — equipment and vendor decisions, a menu that shares prep with what's already running, and its own launch standards.
The same concept, standards, and training built to travel, not rebuilt from scratch — Chandler proves it, then I carry it to Tempe. Alongside that, I'm building the GM/ops layer that makes it stick: working directly with Brittany at Chandler and Mandy across both markets so the standard holds after I've moved on to the next thing.
Concept, menu, branding, and standards ready at Chandler — targeting two weeks from kickoff.
Same concept, same system, carried over once Chandler's live and running clean.
Sandwich program development, once the window's rhythm is proven.
This is a working partnership, not a line item — and it's structured in two parts, not one flat number. A fair, ongoing base for the ownership this role carries, plus a real share in the new revenue the stand itself generates — tracked off its own register, not blended into the rest of the store's numbers — Chandler first and Tempe as it follows. My upside tracks the window's, not a separate line from it.
No number on this page on purpose — let's work out what's fair together, in the room, once you've seen the whole plan.
