As a General Manager, you will manage the daily operations and staff of a Wendy’s restaurant with a specific focus on staffing, training and scheduling, all of which will help build and retain a 5-star team.
-
You know how to identify top talent, develop people, and ensure the right team members are in the right roles at the right times through smart, effective scheduling. You set the tone for the entire restaurant, and new hires look to you as the face of the brand—someone who teaches them how to live Dave’s Legacies and how to “Delight Every Customer.
-
You provide consistent coaching, feedback, and development to every member of the team. You lead all people and operational functions of the restaurant, ensuring excellence in service, food quality, and cleanliness. Fresh food is what we do, and your leadership ensures that every guest receives the best experience, day and night. No phoning it in—well, unless DoorDash is calling.
-
You and your team treat customers like family. Great food, great service, and great hospitality are what keep them coming back. You show Shift Managers and Crew Members how to do things the right way and ensure every shift improves on the last. You give and take direction with professionalism and confidence.

The Wendy’s Story
First of all, yes, Wendy is a real person. And a pretty special one, being the daughter of our founder Dave Thomas. Today, she is one of the most involved and successful franchise owners in the Wendy’s enterprise. We think Dave would be proud. Back in 1969, he looked around at all other hamburger joints and was like, “Nah. People deserve better.” At the time, other quick-service restaurants were using frozen beef and mass-producing food. Not Dave. His approach of serving fresh, made-to-order hamburgers changed the game. And his can’t-stop-won’t-stop commitment to making customers happy drives everything we do today.
