NOW HIRING | General Manager — QSR Restaurant Leader | Greenwood, SC
This is your restaurant. Run it like you own it.
We're looking for a seasoned, hands-on General Manager to lead a high-volume QSR location in North Little Rock, AR. This is a single-brand franchise organization that has been operating and growing across the Southeast for 17+ years — deeply specialized in one brand's standards and built around a founder-driven culture where decisions get made fast and strong operators are seen and rewarded.
Compensation: $55,000–$60,000 base | Performance bonus | Full benefits
About the Organization
This is not a short-horizon operator. This franchise group has grown steadily since 2008, now operating 35+ restaurants across five states — including 8 additional locations acquired in late 2024. The expansion posture is disciplined and long-term, targeting contiguous Southern markets where deep brand expertise gives them a clear competitive advantage. In a lean, founder-built organization like this one, your work is visible, your impact is direct, and you're not waiting on a corporate committee to move.
What You'll Do
- Lead by example, setting the standard for culture, execution, and guest experience on every shift
- Recruit, develop, and retain a strong team of Assistant Managers, Shift Managers, and crew ready to grow
- Own your restaurant's P&L — manage labor schedules, control food cost, and consistently hit sales and profit targets
- Oversee both front-line service and kitchen operations to maintain quality, speed, and consistency
- Ensure full compliance with food safety, sanitation, and security standards at all times
- Coach and counsel your team with urgency and respect — addressing performance concerns promptly and constructively
- Monitor financial data, analyze key metrics, and implement corrective actions to close performance gaps
- Champion local marketing and community efforts that strengthen your restaurant's neighborhood presence
- Drive continuous improvement across all areas of the restaurant to elevate overall performance
What You Bring
- 3+ years of restaurant management experience, ideally in QSR or a high-volume fast-casual format
- Proven track record of developing Assistant Managers and Shift Leaders and building a ready-now leadership pipeline
- Demonstrated ownership of P&L, labor, food cost, and guest experience metrics at the unit level
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to adapt quickly to changing conditions and competing priorities
- Guest-first mindset with a genuine desire to positively impact both your team and your customers
- Working knowledge of POS systems, scheduling tools, and standard restaurant technology
- Stable tenure history — we're looking for career operators, not job-hoppers
- Prior experience with this brand concept preferred but not required
Why This Role
Single-brand focus means deep expertise, clear standards, and no distraction across concepts. Every operational decision here reinforces brand mastery. You'd be joining a stable, actively growing organization at a moment when new locations are coming online and the internal career path to multi-unit leadership is wide open.
