General Manager

Wendy's is a globally recognized quick-service restaurant chain known for its fresh, high-quality food and welcoming atmosphere. Established in 1969, Wendy's has become one of the most trusted brands in the fast-food industry, offering a diverse menu with a focus on fresh ingredients and customer satisfaction. With thousands of locations worldwide, Wendy's is committed to delivering an exceptional dining experience and maintaining a strong presence in the highly competitive fast-food market.

Wendy's operates through company-owned restaurants and a broad network of franchisees. Each franchisee independently owns and operates their locations while adhering to Wendy's rigorous standards for quality, service, and cleanliness. This decentralized approach allows franchisees significant autonomy in managing their establishments while benefiting from the extensive support and brand recognition offered by Wendy's. As a result, employment conditions, including compensation, benefits, and career development opportunities, may vary across locations.

The General Manager role at Wendy's is pivotal to the successful operation of the restaurant. As a General Manager, you will oversee all aspects of the restaurant’s operations and people management. You are the leader responsible for creating and sustaining a fun, inviting, and safe work environment that reflects Wendy's core values daily. Your leadership team will collaborate closely with you to establish a culture of consistency and performance. This culture will drive excellence in customer service, employee training and development, sales and profit growth, as well as accountability throughout the restaurant team.

In this role, you will manage the Profit and Loss (P&L) statement to control costs effectively and achieve targeted profit goals. Identifying and implementing improvements in revenue growth, customer service, and operational processes are vital responsibilities. You are expected to lead by example and ensure adherence to proper procedures, including stringent food safety measures.

The General Manager position is ideal for those with at least three years of leadership experience who thrive in fast-paced environments and are passionate about fostering a positive team culture. This role offers significant opportunities for career advancement through Wendy's internal pipeline, supporting your growth into higher leadership roles within the company.

Wendy's is dedicated to supporting its managers through comprehensive benefits, including medical, vision, and dental insurance, a 401(k) plan with employer matching, paid time off, and free meals during working hours. Additionally, Wendy's provides a best-in-class restaurant leadership training program designed to build your skills and prepare you for future leadership challenges.

At Wendy's, diversity and inclusion are at the core of our hiring practices, welcoming all races, religions, nationalities, genders, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. The company also provides reasonable accommodations to individuals with disabilities to enable them to perform the essential functions of their roles. This commitment ensures a supportive, respectful workplace where every team member can succeed.

This job opening is offered through one of Wendy’s many franchisees, highlighting the localized nature of ownership and operation. While wages and benefits may differ from company-owned outlets, the fundamental values and operational excellence that Wendy’s represents remain consistent. If you are driven to excel in restaurant management and want to be part of a respected brand with a supportive community, the General Manager role at Wendy’s offers a rewarding career path with real opportunities for growth and impact.
