As a pioneering company, 7-Eleven has revolutionized the convenience store industry, restaurants, and fuel services through innovative solutions and a relentless commitment to customer satisfaction. This expansive network of stores makes 7-Eleven the largest retailer globally, serving millions of customers every day with quality products and services.

The Restaurant Manager position at 7-Eleven represents a vital leadership role within its restaurant management teams. This is an exceptional opportunity for individuals passionate about delivering excellent customer service, managing operations effectively, and fostering a positive working environment. The company values candidates with previous supervisory experience and a willingness to develop their skills through structured training programs.

Restaurant Managers will be responsible for overseeing, training, and coaching restaurant staff to ensure high performance and excellent customer experiences.

Using profit and loss (P&L) reports and store performance metrics, managers will drive operational improvements that contribute to the store’s success. Effective communication skills, proficiency in computer applications like Microsoft Word and Excel, and the ability to multitask in a physically demanding environment are essential attributes for this role.

7-Eleven offers comprehensive employee benefits, including retirement plans such as 401K in the US and RRSP in Canada, paid time off, medical, dental, life, and vision insurance coverage, monthly bonuses, tuition reimbursement, and adoption assistance in select regions. This position is committed to work-life balance and career progression, offering excellent growth opportunities within a company that values diversity, equity, and inclusion. Candidates who are ready to grow, lead, and contribute to the future of convenience retail are encouraged to apply and be part of a successful and innovative team.
