Job Description
Wingstop is a renowned restaurant chain specializing in flavorful chicken wings and exceptional hospitality. Founded on the principle that a restaurant is only as good as its people, Wingstop has cultivated a strong culture that emphasizes teamwork, personal growth, and outstanding customer service. With locations spread across various regions, including Westchester and The Bronx, Wingstop continues to expand its footprint, delivering high-quality food and memorable dining experiences to guests.
Wingstop is seeking a dedicated and experienced District Manager to join their dynamic team. This is a full-time leadership role with an annual salary range of $85,000 to $95,000, offering additional benefits such as medical, dental, vision, retirement, and transportation. As a District Manager, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring the operational success of multiple restaurant locations by working closely with Managing Partners, Operating Partners, and the Home Office team. Your responsibilities will include overseeing management, service, and production teams to maintain exceptional standards of service and operational excellence.
The role demands a proactive leader who embodies Wingstop’s culture and vision, serving as a champion of hospitality and quality across all locations. You will be instrumental in developing General Managers into effective leaders capable of nurturing their teams and delivering consistent, high-quality guest experiences. Your leadership will directly influence employee development initiatives designed to foster a positive work environment, reduce turnover, and help maintain Wingstop’s reputable brand standards.
Key duties involve rigorous management of restaurant operations, ensuring compliance with Wingstop’s procedures, policies, and food safety standards. You will conduct regular inspections to maintain Department of Health “A” grades, analyze financial and performance metrics to implement strategic plans for sales growth, cost reduction, and optimal budgeting. Additionally, you will oversee new restaurant openings, ensuring seamless setup, training, and ongoing operational success. Communication will be essential as you coordinate with upper management to align objectives and deliver results.
Given the role’s extensive scope, the District Manager is expected to travel extensively—around 80-90% of the time—primarily within designated regions such as Westchester and The Bronx. Flexibility to work various shifts including days, nights, and weekends is required to meet operational demands. The physical nature of the job includes spending prolonged periods sitting or standing, working in restaurant and kitchen environments with moderate to loud noise and temperature variations, and performing manual tasks such as lifting up to 50 pounds.
At Wingstop, commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is foundational. The company is an equal-opportunity employer that values diverse perspectives and fosters a respectful workplace free from harassment and discrimination. Wingstop actively recruits, hires, trains, and promotes individuals regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, or any other protected status.
This role offers a unique opportunity for individuals passionate about the restaurant industry and leadership to advance their careers within a supportive, innovative, and customer-focused company. If you thrive in fast-paced environments and are eager to make a significant impact through operational leadership and team development, Wingstop invites you to consider joining their team as a District Manager.
