• Develop Restaurant General Managers to become stronger leaders who can successfully grow both their teams and their businesses.

The ideal candidate will bring:

• Proven multi-unit leadership experience within QSR hospitality environments.


• Experience leading and developing Restaurant General Managers or other senior restaurant leaders.

• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.


• Strong business and financial acumen, with the ability to analyze performance and identify opportunities for improvement.


• A collaborative, energetic, and hands-on leadership style.


• The ability to effectively balance people leadership, operational excellence, guest experience, and financial performance.


• Post-secondary education is considered an asset.


• A valid driver's licence and access to a reliable vehicle.


• Flexibility to work a changing schedule, including evenings and weekends when required.
