General Manager High-Volume Fried Chicken QSR

Location: Northeast Georgia (Athens, Gainesville, & surrounding areas) Salary: $60,000 $65,000 + Performance Bonuses

The Opportunity

In Northeast Georgia, fried chicken isn't just a menu itemit's a tradition. We are looking for a General Manager to lead one of the most popular and fastest-growing fried chicken brands in the region. Whether it's the Saturday morning tailgate rush or the weekday lunch hustle, we need a leader who can thrive in a high-energy, high-volume environment.

If you are a hands-on operator who knows how to build a "people-first" culture while keeping an eagle eye on the P&L, this is the role for you. We don't just want a manager; we want a "CEO" of the four walls who takes pride in serving the best chicken in NEGA.

The Role: What You'll Do

As the General Manager, you are the heartbeat of the restaurant. You own the guest experience, the team's development, and the store's profitability.

  • Lead the Front Lines: Drive a culture of "Speed with a Smile." You'll ensure every guest receives hot, fresh chicken and legendary hospitality.
  • Build Your Team: Recruit, train, and mentor a diverse crew. Your success is measured by the growth and retention of your Shift Leads and Assistant Managers.
  • Master the Numbers: Take full accountability for the store's P&L. You'll manage labor targets, food waste, and inventory to maximize the bottom line.
  • Operational Excellence: Maintain a "Gold Standard" facility. You'll ensure the kitchen is spotless, the equipment is maintained, and the store is always audit-ready.
  • Community Connection: Whether it's supporting local high school athletics or regional events, you'll be the face of the brand in your community.

What You Bring to the Table

  • Experience: 2+ years of Restaurant General Manager experience in a high-volume QSR or Fast-Casual setting (Fried Chicken experience is a major plus).
  • The "Hustle" Factor: You lead from the front. You aren't afraid to bread chicken, work the boards, or jump on the window during a heavy rush.
  • Financial Savvy: A strong understanding of prime costs (Labor & COGS) and the ability to execute course corrections based on weekly data.
  • Leadership Heart: A passion for coaching and developing local talent. You build teams that people want to work for.
  • Local Insight: Familiarity with the Northeast Georgia market and the seasonal rhythms of the region.

The Perks

  • Competitive Pay: Starting base salary of $60,000 $65,000.
  • Performance Bonuses: Quarterly incentives based on hitting key KPIs like Sales Growth, Labor, and Food Cost.
  • Comprehensive Benefits: Health, Dental, and Vision insurance options.
  • Career Path: We are expanding across Georgiayour performance here can lead to multi-unit leadership opportunities.
