Job Description

Wendy's is a globally recognized fast-food restaurant chain, widely known for its quality menu offerings, exceptional customer service, and commitment to community values. Established as a leader in the quick-service restaurant industry, Wendy's franchise locations across the country uphold these high standards by providing delicious, freshly prepared food in a welcoming environment. At Wendy's, the combination of innovative menu options and a dedication to customer satisfaction has propelled the brand to maintain a competitive edge in a constantly evolving market.

This particular job opportunity is with an independently owned and operated Wendy's franchise located at 8275 Hampton Boulevard, Norfolk, VA 23505. While this franchise adheres to the overall brand standards, it operates independently, creating unique compensation packages, benefits, and career development programs that may vary from those offered by company-owned Wendy's locations.

The Restaurant Manager role at Wendy's is a vital leadership position responsible for overseeing shift operations and driving restaurant success through effective team management and business acumen. Restaurant Managers play a key role in providing direction, coaching, and training to ensure that every shift runs smoothly and achieves financial and service goals.

As a Restaurant Manager, you will be entrusted with running a million-dollar business by maintaining high energy levels and upholding rigorous standards for food quality, customer service, and cleanliness. You will lead by example, demonstrating the right way to conduct business and fostering a culture of integrity and accountability among your team. Your role includes developing future leaders by mentoring and supporting Crew and Shift Supervisors, thereby building a strong bench of talent for ongoing success.

This position requires a hands-on approach, balancing operational responsibilities with strategic oversight. You'll ensure compliance with all company policies while motivating your team to exceed customer expectations consistently. Your leadership will directly impact the restaurant's ability to meet its business goals, from sales targets to customer satisfaction metrics. Working in a fast-paced environment, you must possess exceptional organizational and communication skills to manage competing priorities effectively.

Overall, the Restaurant Manager role offers an exciting opportunity to lead a dynamic team and contribute to the continued growth and reputation of the Wendy’s brand. This role is ideal for individuals passionate about restaurant management, committed to delivering exceptional guest experiences, and eager to develop their leadership capabilities within a supportive franchise organization.
