About the job
General Manager – Quick-Service Restaurant $57,000–$60,000 Base + Bonus + Benefits
Some restaurants need a manager. This one needs a leader who’s ready to run the show. We’re a high-volume quick-service operation backed by a well-known national brand, and we’re looking for a General Manager who treats the restaurant like it’s theirs — because in every way that matters, it is. You’ll have full ownership of daily operations: the team, the numbers, the guest experience, all of it. This works best for someone who’s already proven themselves as a GM or strong AGM and is ready for a shop where accountability runs both ways — we give you the autonomy to run your restaurant, and we expect you to deliver.
Your Day-to-Day
Full P&L accountability — food cost, labor, inventory, and controllable expenses
Hiring, training, and developing a management bench and hourly crew
Owning guest experience, speed of service, and food quality standards
Driving food safety and cleanliness compliance across every shift
Recruiting and retaining a team that wants to stay
Supporting local marketing initiatives to grow sales
Building a culture where accountability and teamwork actually mean something
What You Bring to the Table
2+ years of restaurant management experience, quick-service or fast-casual preferred
Prior GM or AGM experience
Confidence managing high-volume operations without losing your cool
Solid grasp of labor, food cost, and inventory fundamentals
Clear, direct communication and sharp problem-solving instincts
A leadership style built on ownership, not just oversight
The Offer
$57,000–$60,000 base salary
Bonus potential
Full benefits package
Real room to grow within an established restaurant group
If you’re ready to run your own restaurant instead of just managing someone else’s, let’s have a conversation.
