Job description

General Manager

CKJ Management, LLC | Burger King

Run the Business Like It's Your Own.


At CKJ Management, LLC, we don't believe General Managers simply "run restaurants."

We believe they build teams.

They develop future leaders.

They create memorable guest experiences.

They drive results.

Most importantly—they take ownership.

If you're looking for a company that will trust you, invest in your development, recognize your success, and give you the opportunity to build a winning team, we'd love to meet you.

This is more than restaurant management.

This is business leadership.


Why You'll Love Working Here

At CKJ Management, we believe our General Managers are entrepreneurs inside our organization.

We provide the support, tools, and leadership so you can focus on building a successful restaurant and an outstanding team.

We offer:

  • Competitive salary
  • Performance-based bonus opportunities
  • Paid vacation
  • Health benefits
  • Leadership development and ongoing training
  • Clear opportunities for advancement
  • A company culture built on trust, respect, and accountability
  • A leadership team that genuinely supports your success
  • The opportunity to make a meaningful impact on your employees, guests, and community

We succeed when our people succeed.


Your Mission

As General Manager, you'll lead every aspect of your restaurant while creating an environment where employees love coming to work and guests love coming back.

You'll be responsible for building a culture of excellence through leadership, coaching, accountability, and service.

You'll lead with integrity, set high expectations, and inspire your team to reach their full potential.


What You'll Do

As the leader of your restaurant, you'll:

  • Build, coach, and develop a high-performing team
  • Recruit, hire, and retain great people
  • Mentor future Shift Coordinators and Assistant Managers
  • Deliver exceptional guest experiences every day
  • Drive restaurant sales and profitability
  • Manage labor, food cost, and controllable expenses
  • Ensure food quality, cleanliness, and operational excellence
  • Maintain compliance with all food safety and company standards
  • Analyze business results and identify opportunities for improvement
  • Foster a culture of accountability, teamwork, and continuous improvement
  • Celebrate successes and recognize outstanding performance

Every decision you make helps shape the future of your restaurant.


What We're Looking For

We're looking for leaders—not bosses.

Our best General Managers are:

  • Passionate about developing people
  • Strong communicators
  • Competitive and results-driven
  • Positive, energetic, and resilient
  • Highly organized
  • Excellent problem solvers
  • Financially minded
  • Customer-focused
  • Accountable for results
  • Servant leaders who earn the respect of their teams

Restaurant management experience is preferred, but leadership ability, integrity, and a commitment to excellence matter most.


What Success Looks Like

Our most successful General Managers:

  • Build teams that people want to be part of
  • Develop future restaurant leaders
  • Deliver outstanding guest satisfaction
  • Achieve strong financial performance
  • Maintain excellent food safety and operational standards
  • Create a culture of accountability and recognition
  • Treat every dollar like it's their own
  • Continuously improve every aspect of the business

Great restaurants don't happen by accident.

They're built by great leaders.


Grow With Us

At CKJ Management, we are committed to promoting from within whenever possible.

Many of our future District Leaders and company executives will come from our General Manager team.

Your career path may include:

  • General Manager
  • Multi-Unit Training Leader
  • District Manager
  • Director of Operations
  • Franchisee
  • Corporate Leadership Opportunities

We don't just hire leaders.

We help build them.


Physical Requirements

This position requires the ability to:

  • Stand and walk for extended periods
  • Work in a fast-paced restaurant environment
  • Travel occasionally for meetings and training
  • Work a flexible schedule, including mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays as business needs require


Why Great Leaders Choose CKJ Management

Leadership is about more than running shifts and completing checklists.

It's about creating opportunities.

Building confidence.

Developing future leaders.

Serving your community.

Making smart business decisions.

Leaving your restaurant better than you found it.

At CKJ Management, you'll have the freedom to lead, the support to succeed, and the opportunity to build something you're proud of.

If you're ready to take ownership, inspire others, and make a lasting impact, we'd love to have you on our team.
