General Managers provide the vision and leadership to all Crew, Shift Supervisors and Restaurant Managers to ensure that each customer's expectations are exceeded every visit and that the restaurant achieves or exceeds its business objectives every shift, every day.

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.

Additional Requirements

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

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

• Understanding of employment laws (federal, state, and local).

• Ability to stand for extended periods and travel locally as needed.

• College degree preferred (or equivalent experience).

• Train and monitor proper cash-handling procedures.

• Ensure security of equipment, product, and company assets.
