Job description

Why Wendy's?

In 1969, Dave Thomas brought his square burgers to the table and changed the game. In 2021 we landed in the UK to do the same; and we’re staying for good.

Here at Wendy's, we like our food how we like our ideas: fresh. That's why we've introduced fun, flexible working. No zero-hour contracts. No nonsense.

Just like one of our unique, perfectly balanced, everyday fresh burgers, your new career will be built specially for you. Whatever your needs are, we're ready to embrace them, allowing you to be who you want to be.

Shift Manager

The benefits:

• Target annual bonus of 10%, paid quarterly
• Free meals while working and discounts on days off
• Opportunities for career progression & development
• Employee Assistance Program: no-cost access to mental health services, legal guidance, financial advice, and more.

What you'll do:

• If a Wendy’s restaurant was a person, it’d be you: fun, fast, friendly and never out of bacon.
• Whatever comes up with a customer - good or bad - you handle it like a leader.
• You get how things work here, and make sure new team members know it, too.
• You make sure food safety standards and procedures are on point

What you bring to the table:

• Experience of leading people, even better if you did it in a food service environment.
• 1 year of line operations experience; with demonstrated ability to lead and manage operations in a fast-paced environment.
• 1 year of management experience.
• Fully flex work availability

You must be willing and able to:

• Travel to other Wendy’s locations (restaurants, area office, etc.) as needed.
• Stand and move for most - if not all - of your shift.

We are a proud equal opportunity employer - that means all races, religions, nationalities, genders and the LGBTQ+ community are welcome. We provide reasonable accommodations to enable people with disabilities to perform the essential functions of their jobs.
