Job Description

Toot'n Totum is a dynamic multi-brand operator known for managing a wide range of convenience stores, car wash, lube centers, and fast food establishments including Wendy's and Which Wich restaurants. The company prides itself on delivering excellent customer service, maintaining high standards of cleanliness, and ensuring operational efficiency across all its locations. Toot'n Totum is committed to upholding its core values — being guest ready, honoring and valuing employees and customers, quick, clean and convenient service, taking ownership, and fostering a team-focused environment. The company supports continuous improvement and embraces organizational changes to stay competitive within the service and retail industries.

The Restaurant Maintenance Technician position is a full-time role focused primarily on the repair and maintenance of all Wendy's and Which Wich restaurants operated under the Toot'n Totum umbrella. This role is essential in ensuring all outlets remain operational, clean, safe, and aesthetically appealing to customers. The technician performs a broad range of duties that include cosmetic repairs such as tile work and painting, preventative maintenance of kitchen cooking equipment, refrigeration systems, and HVAC units, as well as prompt response to on-demand service requests. This hands-on position involves troubleshooting mechanical, electrical, and plumbing issues, and overseeing the work of external service providers when they are dispatched to assist.

Key responsibilities include maintaining up-to-date records of all maintenance and repairs using the company’s internal ticketing system, which helps track work done and supports communication between restaurant management teams, district managers, and the Director of Operations. Beyond technical capabilities, the role requires a person with excellent communication skills, strong critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities. The ideal candidate embodies leadership qualities by being attentive and authentic in interactions, volunteering discretionary effort, and showing accountability for their responsibilities.

This maintenance role does not involve supervisory duties but carries the expectation of upholding company values and policies relating to safety, anti-harassment, and ethics. The position also occasionally supports maintenance work in other divisions of the company such as convenience stores and car wash locations. Candidates for this role must be certified in HVAC and refrigerant handling, possess a valid driver’s license, and be comfortable traveling between various sites.

Toot'n Totum offers competitive benefits to full-time employees, including health, dental, and vision insurance, paid time off, tuition reimbursement, and a 401(k) plan. This comprehensive benefits package supports the well-being and professional growth of the employee, reinforcing the company’s commitment to fostering a positive work environment. If you are a skilled maintenance professional looking to work in a fast-paced and varied role within a reputable multi-brand company, this position offers an excellent opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the daily operations of well-known restaurant brands.
