Take the Next Step Into Multi-Unit Leadership
Are you an Area Coach or District Manager, or a high-performing GM ready for your first multi-unit role? A well-established multi-brand franchise group is looking for an Area Coach to lead a group of Pizza Hut restaurants in the Charleston market.
About Us
We’re a Southeast-based franchisee operating 100+ Pizza Hut and Taco Bell restaurants across South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, and Alabama. Our leadership is stable, with a CEO who has led the company for more than 28 years. We treat our team members and our guests like family, and our culture is built on ownership, urgency, pride, excellence, and winning together.
The Opportunity
As Area Coach, you’ll lead about 5 Pizza Hut restaurants in Charleston. They’re part of a 9-unit Pizza Hut group that already has a Market Coach in place to support you. You’ll own sales, profit, guest experience, food safety, and staffing across your restaurants, and you’ll develop the Restaurant General Managers who run them.
What You’ll Do
- Run the restaurants: Lead food quality, speed of service, delivery times, cleanliness, brand standards, and food safety across your restaurants, and visit every one of them each week.
- Develop your RGMs: Coach each RGM on the floor and on the numbers, set clear expectations, and build a successor who’s ready now for every restaurant.
- Own the P&L: Manage food, labor, and controllable costs, review each restaurant’s P&L with its RGM, and deliver budgeted sales and profit.
- Drive sales: Grow sales through local store marketing, delivery and carryout execution, and guest satisfaction.
- Staff and retain: Keep managers and crew fully staffed through recruiting, recognition, and retention, and approve schedules that balance guest demand with labor.
- Protect the brand: Execute food safety procedures to policy and health regulations, and pass every audit with no criticals.
What You Bring
- Multi-unit or strong GM experience as an Area Coach, a District Manager, or a high-performing QSR GM ready for a first multi-unit role. Pizza or delivery experience is a plus.
- Financial acumen in restaurant P&L, labor and food cost management, budgeting, and inventory
- People leadership: a record of hiring, coaching, and developing managers, and a sharp eye for talent
- A floor-first style. You coach from inside the restaurant during peak periods, not from an office.
- A high school diploma or GED (required). A college degree is preferred but not required.
- Comfort with daily travel between your assigned restaurants in the Charleston market. Local and relocating candidates are both welcome.
What’s In It for You
- $75,000 – $80,000 base salary
- Bonus potential on top of base
- Medical, dental, and vision benefits
- Career growth with a 100+ unit, multi-brand operator across the Southeast
