About Fishs Eddy
Fishs Eddy is not just a brand—it’s a way of thinking. We are built on humor, authenticity, and a passion for great design. We create unique, high-quality housewares and tabletop products with a distinct personality that resonates with our customers. Our team is a close-knit group of thinkers, doers, and creatives who embody our core values every day.
Fishs Eddy has been selling millions of mugs for decades… now it’s time we start filling them. We’re launching a cozy, high-energy coffee bar within an iconic Brooklyn store (opening this Fall)—serving a tight menu of expertly crafted coffee and drinks, all with the same wit, warmth, and character that made Fishs Eddy a destination in the first place. We take our coffee seriously—but never ourselves!
About the Role:
We’re looking for a Cafe Manager to help bring our vision to life. This role will lead our new cafe operations from the ground up, blending operational excellence with Fishs Eddy’s unique brand DNA. We have a concept for this 400 square foot space located inside a 3000 square foot store … We need the right person to help us execute it!
The Store Manager must balance operational excellence with creative brand alignment, ensuring that the store delivers on both financial performance and the unmistakable Fishs Eddy experience.

Customer Experience

• Make People Smile is a CORE FOCUS for us … ultimately our goal is to have people leave the store holding one of our bags; but if we cannot achieve that having them smile while in our space is an absolute non-negotiable.
• Handle escalated customer service issues with grace and accountability.
Product & Quality
• Collaborate with our leadership and coffee partners to maintain quality and consistency across all beverages.
• Participate in bar training, tastings, and menu development.

• Punctual, reliable, and calm under pressure.
• Weekend availability required.
