Why Wendy's?

who you want to be.

  talent and empower your team to grow by providing coaching &
  development

  scheduling to ensure your team is the right place at the right time
• Be the
  face of the restaurant to new hires, and crew members’
• This
  one’s a no-brainer: you’re key to increasing store sales and profit goals.

  of line operations experience; with demonstrated ability to lead and
  manage operations in a fast-paced environment.
