General Manager – Wendy’s
Pittsburgh, PA | $60,000–$70,000 + 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 the Pittsburgh metro.
The Pittsburgh market is a growing region with 15+ locations, and the company is bringing in seasoned GM talent to build bench strength. Training stores are within 20 minutes.
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

- 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

- 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–$70,000 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%
