STEAK ’N SHAKE GENERAL MANAGER – PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITY Full-Time, Up to $75,000, Path to Ownership, Franchisee Partner Eligible We’re not looking for a manager. We’re looking for an owner. Steak ’n Shake is the fastest growing QSR in America—and we’re just getting started.

We’re also on a mission: real food, real ingredients, real value. We are a healthy company, delivering healthy food options at great prices. WE give every general manager the opportunity to live the American Dream. The GMs who thrive here don’t clock in and manage from the office.
