Director of Area Operations - Multi-Unit QSR Drive-Thru

Location: Central Wisconsin. Live in the market; relocation assistance available.

A family-owned franchise group of one of America's largest drive-thru brands is hiring a Director of Area Operations to own a six-restaurant market in central Wisconsin. This is not private equity. They have grown by developing their own people, and they want a leader they can trust to run the market and build a long-term career with them.

Compensation & Benefits

• $90,000 - $100,000 base salary
• Bonus of about $30,000 - $45,000, paid quarterly
• $1,000 per month car and phone allowance
• $130,000 - $150,000 total compensation
• 3 weeks vacation, medical, dental, vision, company-paid disability, 401(k)

What You'll Do

• Own the P&L for six high-volume drive-thru restaurants
• Lead, coach and develop six Restaurant General Managers and their teams
• Train new RGMs shoulder to shoulder in the restaurant
• Drive sales, speed of service, food safety, labor and cost controls
• Build the bench: shift-leader development and GM succession
• Help open two new restaurants

What We're Looking For

• A proven QSR multi-unit leader (five or more restaurants) with strong drive-thru operations: Area Coach, District Manager, Area Director or similar
• Hands-on and in the restaurants, not behind a desk
• A people developer who builds General Managers
• Trustworthy and independent enough to run a market on your own
• Experience inside the brand's own system is a plus, not a requirement. Veterans encouraged.
• Living in central Wisconsin, or willing to relocate there

Why Join

• Real authority over your own market
• A family-owned company that promotes from within and keeps its leaders
• Pay at the top of the scale, with a bonus that gets paid
• Growth: two new restaurants on the way
