Job Description

Wendy's is a well-known American fast-food restaurant chain recognized for its fresh, high-quality food and customer-centric service. Established in 1969, Wendy's has grown to become one of the largest hamburger fast-food chains in the world. The company prides itself on its commitment to quality, innovation, and a respectful work environment. Each Wendy's location operates with a strong focus on creating a welcoming atmosphere for both guests and employees alike. The restaurant chain is dedicated to fostering diversity and inclusion within its teams and strives to maintain a safe, supportive workplace where employees have the opportunity to grow and succeed.

This particular Wendy's location is operated by Manna Inc., a company affiliated with several restaurant concepts based in Louisville, KY.

The company has initiated programs like the Unity Care Fund to support employees in times of crisis and the Women in Leadership Council to support growth and development for women on their teams. Manna Inc. is committed to promoting from within, with over 50% of its managers having started in hourly positions, which speaks volumes about the opportunities for career advancement within the company.

We value our employees and offer competitive benefits and pay to reflect this commitment. One unique offering at this Wendy's location is daily pay for all hourly employees, allowing you to get paid quickly for your work. Additional benefits include healthcare plans based on length of service and hours worked, college assistance, education rewards including GED support, free meals during shifts, uniforms, flexible schedules, direct deposit, and a paycard option. Furthermore, employees may benefit from tenure recognition, referral bonuses, employee recognition programs, and assistance programs such as ComPsych and Unity Care. A company chaplain is also available for support, underscoring the company's holistic approach to employee well-being.

This position is ideal for individuals who are dependable, enjoy working in a fast-paced environment, and take pride in delivering excellent customer service.
