This job opportunity is with one of our many franchisees. Independently owned and operated, Wendy's franchise organizations determine their own compensation, benefits and career programs which may vary from company-owned locations.

Requirements:

As a General Manager, you will oversee all restaurant operations, lead and develop your team, ensure compliance with food safety and operational standards, and drive both sales and profitability.

• 3–4 years of restaurant management or equivalent leadership experience.

• Strong knowledge of food safety procedures, restaurant operations, and P&L management.
