General Manager – Wendy’s
Hampton Roads, VA | $60,000–$65,000 + Quarterly Bonus
Want the keys to your own restaurant and a company that will help you grow? A rapidly expanding multi-brand franchise operator with 230+ restaurants in eight states is looking for General Managers to lead Wendy’s locations across the Hampton Roads region.
As the organization continues to grow throughout Virginia and North Carolina, it is adding experienced GMs to build out its leadership team in Hampton Roads. With Wendy’s, Taco Bell, and a fast-growing beverage brand under one roof, strong leaders have real opportunities to advance with a company that believes in promoting from within.
As General Manager, you’ll be responsible for every part of the restaurant’s daily operation: guest satisfaction, drive-thru speed, food safety, food and labor costs, team development, and the store P&L. This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll lead from the floor and be the coach and driving force behind your team’s success.
What You’ll Do
- Lead with energy: build and motivate a team that takes pride in quality food and excellent guest service
- Develop your people: recruit, hire, train, and coach team members, and help them take the next step in their careers
- Run a strong operation: oversee daily operations, food safety, quality, cleanliness, and Wendy’s brand standards across all dayparts
- Hit your numbers: manage labor, food cost, inventory, and key financial metrics to reach restaurant goals and earn your quarterly bonus
- Put guests first: lead by example so every guest leaves with a great Wendy’s experience
What You Bring
- Restaurant management experience, preferably in QSR or fast-casual, ideally with a drive-thru
- A track record of building teams, developing people, and holding others accountable
- Solid understanding of restaurant operations, food safety, labor management, and cost controls
- A positive, hands-on leadership style with strong communication and problem-solving skills in a fast-paced setting
- Availability to work nights, weekends, and holidays as business needs require
What You’ll Get
- Full benefits package
