Manager in Training

Start your management career the right way.

We're DH Burger (Double H Burger Company)—a family-owned Whataburger franchisee. Our mission is simple: BE the standard. That means following the playbook to the letter and executing it better than anyone else.

We run a tight ship. Whataburger's brand standards and our internal procedures are the foundation, and we'll teach you exactly how to execute them. As a Manager in Training, you'll learn those systems from the inside out, then put them to work as an Assistant Manager.

If you want a real shot at running a restaurant—not in five years, but as fast as you can earn it—this is where you start.

You'll start by learning every station shift by shift—not from a textbook. Once you're out of training, you'll step into Assistant Manager duties and own a real piece of the operation.

A typical week looks like:

• Working alongside your team, not from behind a desk. We develop managers who lead from the line, the grill, and the dining room.
• Running a spotless, food-safe building. NSF standards are top priority here. Cleanliness and food safety come first, every shift, every day.
• Learning every station—grill, fryers, board, drive-thru, dining room—until you can run them in your sleep.
• Owning the schedule. Reviewing the weekly forecast with your GM, handling time-off requests, and building a schedule that hits labor targets—submitted by Wednesday for GM approval.
• Driving guest experience. Posting weekly SMG reports, working with Service Ambassadors on areas to improve, and prepping for bi-weekly meetings.
• Executing promotions. Setting up quarterly LSM, prepping new POP when it arrives, completing menu price changes, and coordinating with the WOW committee on events.
• Building the next bench. Spotting talent on your floor, helping train new team members, and developing future leaders—including your own replacement.
• Handling the unexpected. Resolving guest complaints, addressing team concerns, and making the right call under pressure (and asking for help when you're unsure).
• Walking the dining room during rushes, doing table touches, and being present—our company promise to every guest who walks in.

What we need from you

• Open availability—schedule varies week to week (mornings, nights, weekends, holidays as needed)
• A real Guest-First mindset: you'd rather be on the floor than hiding in the office
• Coachable—you're hungry to learn the right way to do things
• Steady under pressure—you keep your cool during a rush
• Comfortable with about 50 hours a week (we're upfront about that)
• Valid driver's license and a clean MVR (we run one)
• Willing to pass a background check (we run one)

Restaurant experience is a plus, but not required. We'll train the right person.

Why DH Burger and not the other guys

• Family-owned, not corporate. Our ownership team is hands-on and accessible—you'll know the people who sign your check, and they'll know you.
• We're growing. New stores mean new leadership openings—Assistant Manager, GM, Multi-Unit GM, Multi-Unit Supervisor, Training GM. Your next role is already on our org chart.
• We pay for your growth. Learn2Serve, ongoing training, real coaching from people who've actually run the line.
• Whataburger brand strength. You're not building traffic from scratch. You're learning to protect and grow a brand customers already drive across town for.
