Job description

Help Build the Future of 7 Brew!

What if your next leadership opportunity wasn't about taking over an established market, but about helping build one from the ground up?

Flynn Group, the largest franchise operator in the U.S., is growing the 7 Brew brand at an incredible pace, with plans to bring approximately 160 locations to the organization over the next several years.

We're looking for an Area Director who wants to be part of that growth from the very beginning.

This is a unique opportunity to join 7 Brew during its early expansion with Flynn Group and help establish the culture, leadership, and operational foundation that will support the brand for years to come.

This isn't just another Area Director role. This is an opportunity to build something.

7 Brew is redefining the drive-thru beverage experience with a culture built around energy, connection, speed, and fun.

As 7 Brew continues to expand, you'll have the opportunity to:

• Help launch and build new locations
• Develop General Managers and future leaders
• Build high-performing teams and a strong leadership bench
• Establish operational standards as the market grows
• Take on increased responsibility as the brand expands
• Grow your career alongside one of the most exciting brands in the Flynn Group portfolio

You won't be walking into a market that's already built. You'll help build it.

The Opportunity

As Area Director, you'll provide leadership and operational oversight for multiple 7 Brew locations throughout the market. You'll be responsible for developing General Managers, driving business performance, and creating an environment where teams and leaders can thrive.

You’ll have a direct impact on the success of the first locations in this market, while helping create the foundation for future growth.

What You’ll Do

Lead & Develop People

• Coach, develop, and inspire General Managers and their teams
• Build a strong pipeline of future leaders
• Create a culture of accountability, recognition, and continuous development
• Recruit and retain top talent
• Identify opportunities to develop high-potential team members

Drive Business Results

• Own operational and financial performance across your area
• Analyze sales, labor, profitability, and other key business metrics
• Identify opportunities and create action plans to improve results
• Hold leaders accountable while providing the coaching and support they need to succeed

Build Operational Excellence

• Ensure consistent execution of 7 Brew standards and operating systems
• Support successful new stand openings
• Identify opportunities to improve speed, service, quality, and efficiency
• Partner with leadership and support teams to solve problems and remove obstacles

Build the Brand

• Be a visible ambassador for 7 Brew in the market
• Help establish the culture and leadership expectations as the market grows
• Build strong relationships with teams, leaders, and community partners
• Bring the energy and passion that make 7 Brew unique

This is a field-based leadership role supporting locations throughout Northern and Central California.

The initial market includes:

The role will also support the broader growth of the market as additional stands open.

Candidates should live within reasonable driving distance of the market and be comfortable with frequent travel between locations.

We're looking for a proven multi-unit restaurant leader who is energized by growth, comfortable with change, and excited by the opportunity to build.

You bring:

• A track record of developing and leading General Managers
• Strong business and financial acumen
• Experience driving sales, profitability, labor, and operational performance
• A passion for developing people and building leadership pipelines
• Strong communication and organizational skills
• The ability to move quickly and adapt in a high-growth environment
• A willingness to be hands-on and present in the operation
• The ability and willingness to travel frequently throughout the market

QSR, fast casual, coffee, hospitality, or other high-volume customer-facing multi-unit experience is strongly preferred.

What We Offer

15%-20% Bonus Per Period

Plus the opportunity to grow with a brand that is just getting started.

As 7 Brew expands, your opportunity expands with it. We're building leadership teams today that can grow into larger markets and greater responsibilities tomorrow.

And because you're part of Flynn Group...

You'll have access to the resources, scale, and career opportunities of the largest franchise operator in the U.S., with multiple brands and operations across the country.

Our leaders have opportunities to grow across the organization, develop new skills, take on larger markets, and build long-term careers.

This Is Your Chance to Get In Early

There are very few opportunities to join a brand during a period of this kind of growth.

160 locations are on the horizon.

We're building the teams and leadership structure that will help get us there.

If you're a multi-unit leader who wants more than maintaining the status quo - if you want to build, develop, grow, and make an impact - we want to hear from you.

Come build the future of 7 Brew with Flynn Group.

Your next opportunity doesn't have to be about managing what's already been built.

It can be about building what's next.
