General Manager

General Manager Partnership Opportunity 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 modernizing operations, raising the bar on hospitality, and expanding our footprint at a pace no one else in the industry is matching. 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. They lead from the floor, own their numbers, and build teams that win. The best of them 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 it's yours because it can be. This is a partnership, not just a paycheck. Lead the team from the floor, production line, drive‑through, and dining room. Build and maintain a high‑performing team through recruiting, training, and real accountability. Uphold Steak 'n Shake's brand, food safety, and hospitality standards without exception. Use data to drive decisions: speed of service, guest scores, and cost targets. Don’t just watch things happen—make them happen. 3+ years of QSR or fast‑casual GM experience. Required. Fluency in P&L management. You can quote your food cost, labor %, and comp trend from memory. Hands‑on leadership style. Comfortable on the grill, in the window, wherever you’re needed. Consistent work history. We want builders, not job‑hoppers. An owner's mindset: every dollar, every guest, every team member matters because soon it’s your name on the door. Your restaurant hits targets every week: costs, cleanliness, speed, guest satisfaction. Your team is trained, engaged, and proud of where they work. You’re invited into the Franchisee Partner Program to own what you built.
