Lead From the Floor. Own the Four Walls.

Are you a Taco Bell or high-volume QSR General Manager who leads from the line, not the office? A well-established multi-brand franchise group is looking for a hands-on Restaurant General Manager to run its Taco Bell in Charleston, SC.

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 been with 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 Restaurant General Manager, you’re a player-coach. During every rush you’re on the line, on register, and at the window, setting the pace by working alongside your team. You own everything inside your four walls: people, product, and profit.

What You’ll Do

• Lead from the floor: Work the stations yourself (line, assembly, register, and drive-thru) during every peak period. You lead the shift instead of directing it from the office.
• Own the four walls: Run all restaurant operations, including food quality, service, cleanliness, brand standards, and food safety. You’ll also manage inventory, ordering, cash handling, and restaurant security.
• Build the team: Recruit, hire, train, and coach team members and shift leaders side by side on live shifts, and develop successors who are ready now.
• Run the schedule and the numbers: Build schedules that balance guest demand with labor goals, review and analyze the P&L, and manage labor, food cost, and controllable expenses.
• Drive the guest experience: Own speed of service, order accuracy, drive-thru times, and guest satisfaction scores, and grow sales through operational excellence and a constant floor presence.

What You Bring

• QSR general management experience in a high-volume restaurant (required). Taco Bell experience is strongly preferred.
• A proven GM track record in fast-paced restaurants with full P&L accountability
• A floor-first track record of running shifts and working stations yourself, not supervising from the office
• Business acumen in managing labor, food cost, inventory, and key metrics like speed of service, order accuracy, and guest satisfaction
• A high school diploma or GED (required). A college degree is preferred but not required.

What’s In It for You

• $70,000 – $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
