About the Role

As a Business Analyst, you'll work closely with leadership to turn store-level data into decisions — tracking performance across our 7 locations and 4 brands, spotting trends, and helping us run a tighter, smarter operation. This is a great opportunity for someone early in their career who wants hands-on exposure to multi-unit retail/restaurant operations and real ownership over projects from day one.

What You'll Do

• Collect, organize, and analyze sales, labor, and operational data across all locations and brands

• Build and maintain dashboards/reports (Excel, Google Sheets, or BI tools) to track KPIs like productivity, sales trends, and cost of goods

• Support leadership with insights for budgeting, forecasting, and operational planning

• Identify inefficiencies and recommend process improvements across stores

• Assist with competitive/market analysis as we evaluate growth opportunities

• Partner with Store Managers and Head of Growth to translate data into action plans

• Prepare clear, concise presentations and reports for leadership review

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Economics, Data Analytics, or related field (or equivalent experience)

• 0–2 years of experience in a business analyst, data analyst, or related role (internships count!)

• Strong Excel/Google Sheets skills; familiarity with SQL, Power BI, or Tableau is a plus

• Sharp analytical thinking with strong attention to detail

• Clear written and verbal communication skills

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, multi-location environment

• Self-starter who takes ownership — aligned with our values of Accountability, Leadership, and Adaptability

Why Alaqmar

• Direct access to founders and leadership — your work will be seen and used

• Real growth path as we scale across brands and states

• A values-driven culture (Accountability, Leadership, Authenticity, Quality, Motivation, Adaptability, Respect)

• Be part of a company that's donated $100K+ to the community and served 2M+ smiles
