Are you a veteran restaurant leader who "thinks like an owner"? Our franchise group operates 18 successful locations (Popeyes & Burger King), and we are looking for a powerhouse General Manager to lead our Waterford team. We need a professional who thrives on accountability and maintains gold-standard operations without needing daily site visits.
The Role:
You aren’t just a shift runner; you are a business leader. While you’ll have the full support of our established systems and oversight, you will be the primary engine driving this location. We need someone who treats the P&L like it’s their own money and the crew like their own team.

- Professional Communication: Provide clear, consistent reporting to ownership—we value solution-oriented leaders.
Qualifications:
- Experience: 3+ years as a QSR General Manager.

- Reliability: A proven track record of running successful units with remote/limited physical oversight.
- Business Acumen: Ability to analyze P&L statements and make real-time adjustments.
What We Offer:
- Competitive Salary & Performance Bonuses: We pay for performance and peace of mind.
