Restaurant General Manager

Why Wendy’s? 

In 1969, our founder 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.

Dave had three rules for everyone who works here: Do the right thing. Treat people with respect. Make food better than anyone would expect from a fast food place. And 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.
