General Manager - Fast Food

We are a fast-growing, dedicated Jimmy John's franchisee committed to delivering exceptional food and customer service. Unlike your typical fast food operation, our company prides itself on being a freaky F.A.S.S.T. business — focused on speed, quality, and customer satisfaction. Our culture promotes a fun and energetic workplace where competitive wages meet excellent benefits, opportunities for advancement abound, and team spirit thrives. Our unique approach to food service is not just about fast food; it is about delivering fresh, quality sandwiches with a genuine commitment to our customers and community. As a part of this exciting journey, we are seeking enthusiastic General Managers who will lead by example and maintain the high standards that distinguish our brand.

As a General Manager at our Jimmy John's locations, you will play a vital role in managing all aspects of restaurant operations to ensure seamless, efficient service that delivers world-class customer experiences. This is a hands-on leadership role responsible for overseeing a team ranging from 3 to 15 employees with a focus on achieving restaurant profitability, maintaining cleanliness, and upholding organizational standards. You will be instrumental in driving sales goals, supporting employee development, and optimizing operational systems. Your leadership will impact every shift, ensuring that sandwiches stay freaky fresh, the store remains freaky clean, and every customer leaves satisfied.

Managing the day-to-day operations involves hiring, training, coaching, evaluating, and sometimes disciplining employees while fostering a positive work environment. You will oversee inventory control, supply ordering, food preparation supervision, and cash handling with complete accountability. With hands-on involvement during busy periods, your ability to lead, multitask, and uphold Jimmy John’s systems and procedures will be crucial to your success. This role demands physical stamina and a strong work ethic, as it typically involves working 50-80 hours per week, including weekends, holidays, and occasional overtime.

In return for your hard work and dedication, our company offers a competitive salary commensurate with your experience, periodic bonuses tied to store performance, and a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision coverage. Paid time off, employee meal benefits, and access to career advancement programs are available to empower your growth within our fast-paced, expanding organization. Successful General Managers have a clear pathway to progressing towards Area Manager or Director of Operations roles, supported by mentorship and robust leadership development initiatives. If you’re ready to bring your passion for leadership, operational excellence, and customer-centric service to a franchise that truly values its people, join us and show what you are all about!
