What You Bring
- 3+ years of restaurant management experience, ideally in QSR or drive-thru/drive-in formats
- Proven track record of leading and developing teams in a fast-paced environment
- Demonstrated ownership of P&L, labor, food cost, and guest-experience metrics
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to adapt quickly to changing conditions
- Working knowledge of POS systems, scheduling tools, and standard restaurant technology
- Stable tenure history — we're looking for career operators, not job-hoppers
