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
