Description:

We’re a people first, growth minded restaurant organization committed to delivering great food, exceptional service, and a workplace where teams thrive. We’re looking for a strong multi unit leader ready to make a meaningful impact across our restaurants.

Why You’ll Love Working With Us

At Wendy’s, our burgers are square because we don’t cut corners — and we hope you don’t either. We believe in strong values such as:

• A supportive leadership culture

• Opportunities for growth and internal promotion

• The ability to influence multiple locations and build winning teams

• Competitive compensation and benefits

If you're naturally friendly, enjoy helping people, and can handle a variety of tasks, you’ll fit right in!

What You’ll Do

As a District Manager, you’ll oversee the performance, people, and profitability of multiple restaurant locations. You’ll champion food safety, operational excellence, team development, and guest satisfaction while driving results that strengthen our brand. You’ll handle such tasks as:

• Lead day to day operations across your district to ensure quality, service, and cleanliness standards are consistently met. 

• Drive sales growth through operational execution, marketing programs, and effective local store strategies. 

• Manage district P&L, including food, labor, and controllable costs. 

• Build and develop high performing management teams through coaching, staffing, training, and performance management. 

• Ensure compliance with all company policies, food safety procedures, and regulatory requirements. 

• Maintain a strong, positive brand presence in the community.

We Get You.

We’re proud to be an equal opportunity employer. All races, religions, nationalities, genders, and members of the LGBTQ+ community are welcome. We also provide reasonable accommodation to ensure individuals with disabilities can perform the essential functions of the job.

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:

• 5+ years of restaurant operations experience; multi-unit leadership preferred. 
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.
• Strong knowledge of operations, budgeting, and people management. 
• A talent for developing teams and creating a positive workplace culture. 
• Excellent communication, organization, and problem-solving skills. 
• Ability to stand and move throughout most or all of your shift.
• Occasional lifting of 25–50 lbs.
• Comfort handling weather changes (e.g., taking out trash, drive thru in the rain).
• Use of standard restaurant equipment (headsets, registers, grills) and adherence to brand guidelines.
• Positive attitude.
• Friendly.
• Reliable.
• Willingness to learn.
