General Manager

STEAK N SHAKE

GENERAL MANAGER - PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITY

Full-Time Up to $80,000 Path to Ownership Franchisee Partner Eligible

Were not looking for a manager. Were looking for an owner.

Steak n Shake is the fastest growing QSR in America-and were just getting started. Were modernizing operations, raising the bar on hospitality, and expanding our footprint at a pace no one else in the industry is matching. Were 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 dont clock in and manage from the office. They lead from the floor, own their numbers, and build teams that win. And the best of them? They become franchise partners-owners of the very store they built.

Top-performing GMs are invited to own and operate their own Steak n Shake. Run it like its yours-because it can be. This is a partnership, not just a paycheck.
