Restaurant General Manager

Why Wendy's

The Role: Full Ownership of the Business

As General Manager, everything inside the four walls is yours to lead—people, performance, culture, and results.

You will:

• Build, coach, and develop a high-performing leadership and crew team
• Set expectations, hold accountability, and elevate talent
• Execute Wendy’s operating systems with discipline and consistency
• Drive sales through operational excellence and team engagement
• Own controllable costs and profitability
• Analyze and manage the restaurant’s P&L
• Ensure full compliance with food safety, labor, and legal standards
• Create a culture where guests return and employees grow

This is not a role where success is handed to you—you create it.

What you can expect

We pay for results—and we’re transparent about it.

• Monthly performance bonus up to $1,000 (based on controllable results)
• Total annual compensation potential: $74,000 – $82,000+
• Medical, Dental, Vision, Life & Rx insurance (eligible after 30 days)
• Retirement plan with company match
• Paid vacation and sick time
• Thanksgiving & Christmas OFF and PAID
• Free meals every shift
• Recognition programs, incentives, and performance contests

This role is designed for operators who want ownership, accountability, and upside—not micromanagement.

Competitive base salary: $62,000 – $70,000

What we expect from you

This is not an entry-level position.

Required:

• 3+ years as a General Manager (or equivalent) in QSR or fast-paced restaurant environment

• Experience reading and managing a P&L
• ServSafe certification (or ability to obtain quickly)
• Open availability, including weekends and holidays
