General Manager

Wendy's
PETERSBURG, VA Full Time
POSTED ON 5/25/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 6/24/2026

What you'll do

Lead a multi-talented team

Wanna lead a team committed to bringing it every single day?  As a Wendy's GM:

  • You're in charge of all people and operations for a Wendy's restaurant.  Fresh food is all we do, so we count on you and your team members to do it right for our customers every day and night.  No phoning it in - well, unless DoorDash is calling.

  • You and your team treat customers like family.  Great food, great service, great everything is what keeps them coming back.

  • You show Shift Managers and Crew Members how to do it right, and make sure every shift is better than the last.

  • You give and take direction like a pro.

  • This one's a no-brainer:  you're in charge of increasing store sales and profit goals.

  • Whether you started out as a Crew Member or you're coming from another foodservice organization, you believe in Wendy's and are glad to be a part of our family

What you can expect

We get it.  We get you.

Our food isn't one size fits all and our job opportunities aren't either.

We are a proud equal opportunity employer - that means all races, religions, nationalities, genders and the LBGTQ community are welcome.  We provide reasonable accommodations in order to enable people with disabilities to perform the essentials functions of their jobs.

What we expect from you

What you bring to the table:
  • Minimum of three to four years of experience leading people, even better if you did it in a foodservice environment.

  • High school diploma or GED.  (Some college experience or military background?  Tell us that, too).

  • Demonstrated ability to lead and manage operations in a fast-paced environment.

  • Knowledge of food safety procedure and standards.

  • Flexible work availability.

 You're willing and able to:

  • Travel to other locations (restaurants, area office, etc.) as needed.

  • Stand for long periods, bend and kneel and be able to life 25 to 50 pounds.

  • Handle weather-related moments like rain at the drive-thru, taking trash out in the summer, etc.

  • Wear a headset and understand restaurant equipment from a grill to registers and computers.

This job opportunity is with one of our many franchisees. Independently owned and operated, Wendy's franchise organizations determine their own compensation, benefits and career programs which may vary from company-owned locations.
