Who We Are

Pizza Ranch began as a single restaurant in Hull, Iowa in 1981 and has grown into a leading fast-casual franchise with more than 200 locations across multiple states. At Gravy Train Restaurant Management, we proudly operate several Pizza Ranch restaurants throughout Iowa and Illinois.

We operate with a people-first mindset — focused on operational excellence, strong leadership, and building restaurants where team members are developed, supported, and set up to succeed. Our goal is simple: deliver a legendary guest experience while building strong leaders across every market we serve.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a General Manager in Waiting — a high-impact, traveling leadership role designed for a future General Manager who is ready to grow into a long-term store leadership position.

This role supports multiple Gravy Train Pizza Ranch locations across Iowa and Illinois. You will step in where needed — supporting leadership transitions, training and developing teams, strengthening operations, and ensuring each restaurant upholds our legendary standards.

If you thrive in dynamic environments, enjoy variety in your work, and are passionate about developing people and driving results, this role was built for you.

This position requires approximately 50 hours per week and regular travel.

Support onboarding and leadership development initiatives.
Model accountability, professionalism, and the Pizza Ranch way of leadership.

Elevate the Guest Experience

Reinforce legendary hospitality standards across all locations.
Support local teams in community engagement and positive brand presence.
Ensure consistent execution of service standards and guest recovery processes.

Strengthen Financial Performance

Analyze store performance and identify improvement opportunities.
Assist with managing food cost, labor cost, and inventory control.
Provide actionable recommendations to District Managers and leadership.

What You Bring to the Table

Passion for Leadership & Development – You love coaching others and building strong teams.
3–5 Years of Restaurant Management Experience – Multi-unit or traveling leadership experience preferred.
Adaptability & Problem-Solving Skills – You can walk into a new environment and quickly identify what needs attention.
Strong Business Acumen – Experience managing P&L, labor, and cost controls.
Excellent Communication Skills – Able to connect with team members at every level.
Valid Driver’s License & Willingness to Travel – Regular travel across Iowa and Illinois is required.
High school diploma required; college degree preferred.

Compensation & Travel Package
