This specific opportunity is for an experienced Restaurant Assistant General Manager (AGM) at one of their high-volume, fast-food restaurants located in Pearland, TX. The Assistant General Manager will play a vital role in the successful daily operations of the restaurant, working directly under the General Manager to ensure smooth and efficient management.

This employment opportunity is with an independently owned and operated Wendy's franchise, meaning compensation and benefits may differ slightly from those at company-owned stores.

Working as an Assistant General Manager at this Wendy's location involves direct responsibility for overseeing the daily operational functions of a busy restaurant. This includes financial controls, staff scheduling, recruiting and training team members, coaching and developing staff, ensuring food safety and equipment maintenance, and maintaining compliance with health and safety standards.
