The role of a PM General Manager at Cook Out is tailored for dynamic, high-energy leaders who are ready to take charge of the night shift. This is not a typical managerial position confined to an office; instead, it demands a hands-on approach where leaders guide from the front lines. The PM General Manager is the cornerstone of the evening operations, overseeing a large team in a fast-paced and high-volume environment. This role requires an individual who can inspire and coach team members effectively, promote teamwork, and sustain top-tier customer service standards consistently. The successful candidate will also have full accountability for managing the profit and loss statement, which includes controlling labor, food, and paper costs to drive the restaurant's financial performance.

One of the remarkable aspects of this role is the unique schedule that offers an excellent work-life balance. The PM General Manager works only four shifts per week, starting at 4:45 PM, allowing three full days off every week. This schedule is designed to maximize personal time and reduce burnout, making it an appealing choice for leaders who value their downtime as much as their professional growth.

Compensation at Cook Out is highly competitive, with base salaries ranging from $55,000 to $80,000 plus performance bonuses. Managers earn an additional $15 per hour in appreciation pay along with monthly performance-based bonuses ranging from $600 to over $3,000 depending on sales growth. This structure is geared toward rewarding results and encouraging a strong commitment to excellence.

The company fosters real career growth opportunities driven solely by individual hustle and performance. As a performance-based organization, Cook Out enables ambitious leaders to elevate their careers without limits, encouraging a culture of ambition and achievement. Beyond salary and bonuses, the benefit package is comprehensive, including medical, dental, vision, and life insurance starting after 90 days of employment. Employees also benefit from a 401(k) plan with up to a 4% company match, paid vacation time, free meals during shifts, and free manager gear such as shirts and hats. Furthermore, the restaurant observes holidays by closing on Thanksgiving and Christmas, reinforcing the company’s commitment to family values.

This PM General Manager role is perfect for leaders who thrive under pressure, possess strong coaching and communication skills, and are passionate about building and motivating diverse teams. It is also ideal for those who want an ownership mentality, ensuring sustained success through impeccable operational management and team development. If you are ready to lead the best night shift in the business and be rewarded for your efforts with excellent pay and meaningful benefits, Cook Out invites you to apply and start an exciting career journey.
