General Manager – Wendy’s
Morgantown, WV | $60,000–$65,000 + Quarterly Bonus
Ready to run your own restaurant with one of the fastest-growing franchise organizations in the country? A leading multi-brand franchisee with 230+ restaurants across eight states is looking for an experienced General Manager to lead a Wendy’s in Morgantown.
This organization is in an aggressive growth phase and has earned industry recognition as a top operator. Its philosophy is to invest in people and facilities, not cut corners. With Wendy’s, Taco Bell, and a fast-growing beverage concept in the portfolio, strong GMs have real career paths most franchisees can’t offer.
This is a hands-on, in-position leadership role, not a clipboard job.
What You’ll Do
- Lead the restaurant: manage day-to-day operations across all dayparts while maintaining QSC standards, drive-thru times, and a top-tier guest experience
- Own the P&L: control food, labor, and paper costs, drive sales against budget and prior year, and deliver controllable profit against bonus targets
- Develop the team: recruit, train, coach, and review AGMs, shift managers, and crew, and build a bench strong enough to promote from within
- Champion brand standards: lead food safety training, hit top-level operations evaluation results, and roll out new products and brand programs on schedule
- Hit the numbers: manage to sales, controllable profit, and customer survey targets that drive your quarterly bonus
What You Bring
- 3+ years of General Manager experience in a fast food restaurant with a drive-thru
- Strong P&L command (food, labor, and controllable profit) and the ability to read a period flash and act on it
- A hands-on operator who works alongside the team, with a track record of developing crew, shift leaders, and AGMs
- ServSafe certification, or the ability to obtain it upon hire
- High school diploma or GED
- Availability for nights, weekends, and holidays based on business needs
What You’ll Get
- $60,000–$65,000 base salary
- Quarterly bonus with a $7,200 annual target; high performers earn $13,000+
- Medical, dental, and vision benefits
- 401(k) with a 50% match up to 5%
- Two weeks of vacation, rising to three at 5 years and four at 10 years
- Paid birthday off
- Closed Thanksgiving and Christmas
- Career growth across multiple brands in a rapidly expanding organization
