General Manager

Wendy's is a globally recognized fast-food restaurant chain known for its quality menu, exceptional customer service, and welcoming dining environment. With thousands of locations worldwide, Wendy's continues to be a leader in the quick-service industry by combining fresh ingredients, innovative food offerings, and a commitment to customer satisfaction. Many Wendy's restaurants operate as franchises, ensuring a personalized and community-focused approach at each location. This opportunity is with one of Wendy's many franchisees, who independently determine their own compensation, benefits, and career development programs, which may differ from corporate-owned restaurants.

As a General Manager at Wendy's, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring the success of a designated restaurant by providing visionary leadership and operational oversight. This position involves leading and mentoring a team consisting of Crew Members, Shift Supervisors, and Restaurant Managers to maintain high standards of Quality, Service, and Cleanliness (QSC). You will be responsible for fostering a positive dining experience for customers through rigorous adherence to food safety standards, maximizing sales and profitability, and protecting the Wendy's brand and assets. Your leadership will inspire team members to exceed performance expectations and contribute to the growth of the restaurant both financially and as a workplace that encourages development and advancement.

The General Manager understands that growth is driven by people as much as by financial outcomes. This holistic approach means inspiring your team to embrace the Wendy's spirit, meet and exceed customer expectations consistently, and focus on continuous improvement in all operational aspects. Early identification and correction of problems are crucial to maintaining seamless service, and the ability to manage multiple priorities is essential. You will ensure that the restaurant meets or exceeds company standards each shift and drive marketing participation to boost sales. This role requires a person with excellent interpersonal skills, a strong work ethic, attention to detail, and the ability to balance administrative duties with hands-on leadership in a fast-paced, customer-focused environment.

Wendy's offers competitive pay alongside a comprehensive benefits program that includes a bonus program, sick time, vacation time, and a free meal program for employees. Health insurance options covering medical, dental, and vision care are available, as well as optional insurances such as short-term and long-term disability, additional life insurance, hospital, accidental, and critical illness coverage. The company promotes career advancement with performance evaluations every 12 months and provides uniforms and flexible schedules to support work-life balance. This role is ideal for individuals who are passionate about leadership in the restaurant industry, enjoy mentoring team members, and are eager to contribute to a well-respected, dynamic brand with a global footprint.
