People first. Results driven. No excuses.
We're looking for an experienced, high-energy Area Coach to lead a portfolio of Pizza Hut locations across the Jacksonville, FL territory — including Palatka, MacClenny, Lake City, Yulee, Starke, and St. Marys, GA. This is a full-ownership role for a people-first operator who develops great managers, drives consistent brand execution, and delivers strong financial results every period.
Compensation: $75,000–$80,000 base | Performance bonus | Full benefits
Current Pizza Hut brand experience is required — candidates without active Pizza Hut knowledge will not be considered.
The Opportunity
You'll be responsible for the operational success of 6 Pizza Hut locations across the FL/GA market, reporting directly to the Director of Operations. This organization runs on a strong set of core values — family first, urgency and pride, owner mentality, and a genuine commitment to the communities they serve. If that resonates with how you already operate, keep reading.
What You'll Do
- Develop, coach, and hold Restaurant General Managers and their teams accountable to brand standards and operational excellence
- Build and maintain a strong leadership bench to support growth and reduce management turnover
- Ensure consistent operational execution across all locations in food quality, speed of service, and cleanliness
- Analyze P&L statements, performance metrics, and key business indicators to drive profitability and identify improvement opportunities
- Lead hiring, onboarding, training, and ongoing development of management-level team members
- Conduct regular store visits with structured coaching sessions and documented action plans for continuous improvement
- Foster a collaborative, team-first culture rooted in core organizational values
- Engage with and support local communities through outreach initiatives and brand representation
What You Bring
- Current Pizza Hut experience — this is a firm requirement, non-negotiable
- 5–7+ years of progressive restaurant management experience with multi-unit oversight strongly preferred
- Demonstrated track record of building leadership benches and developing high-potential managers
- Strong financial acumen — P&L management, labor optimization, and food cost control
- Excellent communication, coaching, and organizational skills
- Ability to manage multiple priorities across multiple locations in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment
What Success Looks Like
- A strong, ready-now bench of leaders developed and in place across all locations
- Consistent operational execution with improving brand audit scores quarter over quarter
- A positive, engaged team culture with low voluntary management turnover
- Achieving or exceeding sales targets and profitability goals each period
Why This Role
This franchise group operates with an owner mentality — every detail and every dollar matters.
