Job description

Come run THE quesadilla spot in one of the fastest-growing towns in Texas.

Hey Forney (and anyone ready to be a Forney local),

We’re Kyle and Maggie Gordon. We started Dillas in 2013 with a handful of recipes, a lot of nerve, and one big belief: great food is made by great people. Eleven restaurants later, we’re still founder-owned, still hands-on, and still on the hunt for leaders who make a room better just by walking into it.

Right now, that leader is you, and that room is Forney.

Because Forney is going places. This City Without Limits has gone from about 23,000 neighbors in 2020 to more than 40,000 today, and it’s a young, family-packed community with a median age under 33. Football Fridays, school pride, weekend sports, and a whole lot of hungry people who want a fast, fresh meal they can feel good about.

That’s our people. Dillas is built for this town, and the GM who leads it will be the face of it: the person who knows the regulars by name, shows up for the school fundraiser, and makes sure the team behind the counter is the best team in Kaufman County.

We’re a growth company, and we’re not shy about it. We have big plans for DFW, we’re franchising in strategic markets, and our goal is 150 restaurants by 2032. When a company grows that fast, there’s always a next seat for people who earn it.

And you won’t be doing it alone. As GM, you get have a voice. We want to hear your ideas, and we mean it. You’ll get real freedom to run your restaurant, real coaching to get better every week, and a team that’s pulling in the same direction.

We pick our leaders based on character and how they build a team. If you’re hungry to learn, want a life outside of work, and want a career that builds toward something bigger, read on. We want you, and we think you’d thrive.

• Guaranteed bonus program
• 10 weeks of training, plus a full operating system and development binder, so you always know what great looks like
• 80 hours of paid time off
• Closed every major holiday, and we close early on Super Bowl Sunday
• 4 formal reviews a year, we want to see you grow!
• Cause-driven community impact
• A seat at the leadership table with the founders
• A culture that’s enthusiastic, supportive, and a little bit spunky

You run the whole restaurant. You hire and develop A Players, lead the shift, and set the tone for a Team that lives our mission: Good Food, Good People, Good Times while Working Hard and Keeping it Clean. You’re positive, you’re coachable, you’re a coach, and you love to celebrate a win.

Here’s how we think about the job, in order:

Manpower comes first.

The right people in the right seats is the foundation for everything. How you recruit, onboard, train, and develop your Team will be your calling card. In Forney, that means building relationships with the local high schools, families, and neighbors who want to be part of something good.

Build a culture of family with accountability.

Clear direction, high energy pre- and post-shift meetings, honest feedback in both directions, and an open-door mentality. Set the expectation, follow up, and celebrate it when the Team hits the goal. If they miss, find out why and make a plan. Always say thank you. Your people chose to work with us.

Excellence in operations.

Run Primo shifts: a spotless restaurant, fast service, strong training, and tight food and labor costs. Be a hands‑on working manager who leads by example, uses the tools and systems we give you, and champions the guest. Team and guest safety is always number one.

Drive financial performance.

Know your P&L top to bottom, plan ahead, and see what’s coming. Handle your admin quickly and accurately (we call it the DO IT NOW mindset) so the Support Office can deliver on its mission of “Primo support for our restaurant Teams!”

Be the community restaurant.

We’re not a restaurant in the community, we’re the community restaurant. Once your Team is firing on all cylinders and the numbers are right, you earn the freedom to get out of the building: build local partnerships, show up at events, run Primo catering, and grow the Dillas family in Forney. (Operations is still our best marketing, so it all starts with a great shift.)

We can’t wait to meet you.
