Position: District Manager

At DC Burger Inc., we’re not just serving burgers, we’re serving hustle, flavor, and community pride. We’re on the hunt for a dynamic, results-driven District Manager to oversee multiple locations, lead high-performing teams, and ensure every restaurant delivers an exceptional guest experience—every shift, every day. This is a true leadership and ownership role.

You’ll be responsible for driving operational excellence, maximizing financial performance, developing and mentoring General Managers, and fostering a strong culture across your market. You’ll champion our brand, build strong community connections, and push your teams to new levels of success. If you're ready to lead with vision, drive real impact across multiple restaurants, and grow with a company that values heart and hustle—this is your moment.

What You’ll Do

Lead with energy and purpose

Oversee 8–12 restaurants, driving operational excellence and team performance.

Set the tone, elevate standards, and inspire excellence every day.

Build powerhouse teams

Coach, mentor, and develop General Managers and their teams. Culture starts at the top—and that’s you.

Own the P&L

Optimize labor, food costs, and operations to maximize profitability. Drive sales, streamline processes, and elevate the guest experience.

Drive revenue growth

Monitor and analyze sales trends. Implement targeted strategies to boost performance and build long-term success.

Lead from the front lines

Conduct regular (and unannounced) visits. Evaluate service, cleanliness, efficiency, and team engagement in real-time.

Be a field-first operator

Solve challenges on the ground, identify bottlenecks, and push your teams toward operational excellence—hands-on, every day.

Support strategic execution

Guide managers through operational challenges, align teams with objectives, and hold them accountable for results.

Champion guest feedback

Analyze Yelp and Google reviews weekly. Recognize top performers and coach locations that fall below brand standards. Use feedback as a tool for growth and accountability.

Support talent acquisition

Partner with the hiring team to identify, recruit, and onboard top talent. Ensure each location maintains a strong leadership bench and team pipeline.

Foster local marketing efforts

Collaborate with restaurants to implement grassroots marketing, community partnerships, and review-generation campaigns that build local awareness and increase traffic.

Enforce high standards

Ensure strict adherence to food safety, labor laws, and regulatory compliance. Professionalism isn’t a bonus—it’s the baseline.

Review staffing and scheduling

Maintain well-balanced teams with smart, budget-conscious scheduling that keeps service levels high and morale even higher.

What You Bring

• Associate or bachelor’s degree in hospitality business, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 5–7+ years of progressive management experience in high-volume food service operations.
• Weekend, holiday, and evening availability required.
• Motivational leadership style and a strong hands-on approach.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, Google Suite, and POS platforms
• Excellent communication, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills.
• High energy, self-starter, thrives in a fast-paced environment.
• Experience leading remote, geographically dispersed teams. You know how to stay connected and aligned without micromanaging—and your teams perform at a high level even when you’re not in the room.
• Data-driven decision-making. You know your numbers and use them to guide strategy, from labor planning to sales growth to cost control.
• Experience in both corporate and franchise models. Bonus if you’ve navigated both environments and understand how to drive results while respecting brand and ownership nuances.

Why Join Us?

If you’re an entrepreneurial thinker who’s passionate about building brands, leading teams, and making a meaningful impact, this is your opportunity to grow with a company that values people as much as performance.
