Job description
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
- Demonstrated success managing people, sales, and profitability
- Strong understanding of labor, food cost, and operational controls
- Experience reading and managing a P&L
- ServSafe certification (or ability to obtain quickly)
- Open availability, including weekends and holidays
- Reliable transportation
- Authorized to work in the U.S.
- Ability to pass a background check
You should be comfortable:
- Making decisions independently
- Holding others accountable
- Leading through standards—not emotion
- Working in a performance-driven environment
Who Thrives Here
You'll thrive at Saren Restaurants if you:
- Think ahead instead of reacting
- Care about how results are achieved, not just the numbers
- Take pride in developing future leaders
- Want to run a business—not be micromanaged
- Are looking for a platform, not just a job
