About this role
Job Title: Restaurant General Manager – Dual-Brand QSR
Location: Charleston, SC
Compensation: $80,000 – $90,000 / year + Bonus Potential
About the Role
Are you a hands-on, high-energy QSR leader who thrives in a fast-paced environment? We are looking for an experienced Restaurant General Manager to lead our dual-brand location in Charleston, SC.
In this role, you lead from the floor—not from behind a desk. You are a true player-coach who is on the line, on register, and in the window during every rush, setting the pace alongside your team. You will completely own everything within your four walls: people, product, and profit.
What You’ll Do
Lead From the Floor: Personally work stations—line, drive-thru, assembly, and register—during peak periods, directing shifts by example rather than managing from an office.
Own the Four Walls: Oversee all daily operations across both brands, including food quality, cleanliness, brand standards, safety, inventory, ordering, cash handling, and security.
Build & Mentor the Team: Recruit, hire, train, and coach shift leaders and team members through hands-on, side-by-side coaching to develop ready-now internal successors.
Run the Numbers & Schedule: Analyze monthly P&L statements, manage labor and food costs, control operational expenses, and build schedules that balance guest demand with labor targets.
Drive Guest Satisfaction: Own speed of service, order accuracy, drive-thru times, and guest satisfaction scores to drive sales growth through operational excellence.
What We Are Looking For
Dual-Brand Experience (REQUIRED): You must have direct, hands-on General Manager experience running a dual-brand QSR operation. Candidates without dual-brand experience will not be considered.
Proven QSR Track Record: Demonstrated success managing high-volume, fast-paced fast-food operations with full P&L accountability.
Floor-First Leadership: A clear history of leading from the floor and actively working stations during rushes.
Business Acumen: Strong skill set in managing inventory, food cost variances, labor metrics, and speed-of-service targets.
Education: High School Diploma or GED required; college degree preferred.
What We Offer
Competitive Base Salary: $80,000 – $90,000 per year + performance bonus potential.
Comprehensive Benefits: Medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage per company plan guidelines.
Career Growth: Ample opportunity for multi-unit advancement within a growing, high-volume franchise group operating over 100+ units across the Southeast.
