Restaurant General Manager

$74k - $82k

Wendy's

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


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.
