General Manager

Firehouse Subs is a fast-growing franchise group with over 20 locations, committed to community, quality, and its people. Founded in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1994 by brothers and former firefighters Chris Sorensen and Robin Sorensen, Firehouse Subs is more than a restaurant chain — it’s a passionate brand built on decades of fire and police service. Known for its hot and hearty subs piled high with the highest quality meats and cheeses, the company deeply values its mission to serve fresh food, provide heartfelt service, and promote public safety through its nonprofit Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation. This foundation supports local communities by funding lifesaving equipment for first responders. Firehouse Subs has been recognized as the No. 1 brand in the restaurant industry that "Supports Local Community Activities" based on recent consumer data, reflecting its strong reputation and meaningful impact beyond the kitchen.

The Firehouse Subs franchise is independently owned and operated, and this particular opportunity is to lead one of these thriving locations as a General Manager. This is a full-time position with a competitive salary ranging from $50,000 to $60,000 annually, depending on experience and performance. The successful candidate will manage all aspects of daily restaurant operations, ensuring exceptional food quality, top-tier customer service, and a welcoming environment. The role requires someone who is passionate about leadership, hospitality, and team development, who thrives in a fast-paced setting, and who is committed to maintaining the brand’s high standards.

As the General Manager, you will build and inspire a high-performing team by recruiting, hiring, training, and mentoring staff. You will drive key operational results by managing food costs, labor, and utilities to ensure profitability, while adhering rigorously to all health, labor, and safety regulations at local, state, and federal levels. The position also involves promoting a vibrant culture that is cheerful and professional, supporting community initiatives, and representing Firehouse Subs in local outreach and public safety programs. You’ll be responsible for maintaining equipment and coordinating repairs to ensure smooth restaurant operations and will communicate regularly with your district manager, director of operations, and ownership to align on goals and strategies.

This career opportunity offers much more than a management position; it is a chance to be part of a brand that values teamwork, respect, and continuous growth. Firehouse Subs provides a full benefits package that includes 401(k) with company matching, medical, dental, vision and life insurance, paid time off, paid training, employee discounts, and clear paths for career advancement. The supportive and high-energy culture encourages personal and professional development, making this an ideal role for enthusiastic leaders eager to grow alongside a beloved community-driven company. If you are a restaurant management professional seeking a meaningful leadership role where you can truly make an impact, Firehouse Subs welcomes you to join their family and lead one of their successful franchises.
