Full Job Description

Summary

Responsible for planning, organizing, and directing all restaurant design activities for Company owned and Franchise development projects, both Domestic and International. Leads the internal design function that produces design packages, renderings, equipment layouts, and elevations for new stores, remodels, and non-traditional venues, whether developed in-house or through managed external architectural partners, depending on department capability and project requirements. Owns final layout approval for all restaurants and ensures current brand positioning is reflected in every design, partnering with Marketing on the evolution of brand identity and its application to the built environment. Manages budgets and vendor relationships to maximize ROI, and serves as the primary design resource for Franchise partners and their consultants, ensuring brand standards are incorporated in all projects worldwide.

Essential Duties & Responsibilities

Directs design delivery for all corporate and franchise projects, producing design packages, floor plans, equipment layouts, and renderings in-house where department capability allows, and scoping, selecting, and managing external architectural consultants where outside expertise or licensure is required. Manages consultant scope, budget, and quality in either model.
Manages corporate restaurant design timelines for remodels and new store construction, coordinating key dates for timely delivery of required plans and building permit issuance.
Reviews and approves Construction Documents, Shop Drawings, and all design vendor quotes and drawings, including all FF&E related items, for new and renovation stores. Manages equipment specification, bulk ordering strategies, lead times, and value engineering of materials and finishes to optimize cost and schedule.
Leads, develops, and delegates to design department staff, assigning projects end to end, providing mentorship, and building succession capability within the department.
Serves as primary design contact for International Franchise partners, producing or directing renderings and equipment layouts that support entry into new markets, and coordinating with international marketing partners to ensure consistent application of branding elements, signage, and graphics across all countries.
Supports franchise sales and development, including preparation and delivery of Discovery Day design presentations, early feasibility layouts that allow prospective franchisees to visualize the concept within their space, and preliminary budget estimates for equipment, signage, and menu boards.
Develops prototype, small-format, and venue-specific designs (kiosks, c-stores, travel centers, elevated-finish locations, fast casual formats) to enable expansion into non-traditional channels and new market segments.
Coordinates with design consultants selected by Franchise partners, establishing relationships, assisting on initial floor plans, and providing direction and access to required brand standard elements. Directly addresses and resolves franchisee design and signage issues within the scope of the role.
Owns the creation, maintenance, and distribution of design related brand standards, including the Design Playbook and standards library, ensuring current materials are accessible to the field and franchise system.
Collaborates with Marketing on changes and evolution to the brand identity, translating new or updated branding elements, signage, and graphics into restaurant design applications and ensuring they are incorporated consistently across new stores, remodels, and international projects.
Establishes and maintains communication protocols with company Operations field teams, leadership, culinary staff, Marketing, and IT to obtain feedback, direction, and approval on all layouts and floor plans.
Works closely with the VP Development and the Directors of Facilities, Construction, and Real Estate for project assistance and collaboration, coordinating design handoffs while ensuring construction-phase questions are routed to the appropriate construction and facilities resources.
Additional duties as assigned.
