general-manager

Wendy's is a well-established fast-food restaurant chain with a long-standing reputation for quality and customer service. Originating from humble beginnings on the West Coast in Fresno, California, Wendy's has grown significantly over nearly 50 years, now boasting 45 restaurants throughout California. Franchise organizations such as Desmond Foods LP, Wendys of Fresno Inc., Wendys of Santa Clara Inc., and Peninsula Foods LP are among the most honored in the Wendy's family, consistently delivering excellence that aligns with the brand's mission to exceed guest expectations in product quality, service, and overall dining experience. These organizations operate independently but share a unified commitment to leadership, trust, loyalty, teamwork, and a positive work environment.

This particular job opportunity is offered through one of Wendy's many franchisees, which are independently owned and operated. This means that compensation, benefits, and career advancement programs may vary depending on the franchise organization, providing a unique and flexible work environment tailored to local management. The position is focused on maximizing restaurant sales and profit goals against budget goals and prior year comparisons, ensuring high operational standards that meet or exceed company and headquarters quality standards.

The role involves building and developing a strong team of subordinates, executing effective training programs that align with Wendy's proper concept training standards, and championing the operational systems that define Wendy's success. As a people-first leader, the position demands a hands-on coaching approach, a mentality geared toward surpassing previous sales achievements, and the ability to lead and direct daily activities of a sizable team of 20-50 employees effectively. Compliance with all relevant federal, state, and local laws is mandatory in this leadership capacity.

Wendy's and its franchisees emphasize a people-first culture, offering competitive pay and comprehensive benefits such as health, dental, and vision insurance, a bonus program, paid vacation, and a 401K plan with company match. Employees also enjoy programs like an employee meal plan and opportunities for growth and career advancement within the organization. This job position is perfect for candidates who are passionate about leadership, customer satisfaction, and developing a motivated team while driving financial performance in a fast-paced restaurant environment.
