Northern Wisconsin Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Regional Training Manager & Store Operations Lead Wisconsin Subs — Subway Franchise Group | Northern Wisconsin

Wisconsin Subs is an independently owned and operated Subway franchise group with many locations across northern Wisconsin. We are in an active growth phase and are building the operational infrastructure to support it. This role is central to that effort.

We are seeking an experienced, highly capable food service leader to fill a newly established Regional Training Manager position. This is a senior role designed for a professional who combines strong store-level operational expertise with a demonstrated ability to develop people, build training systems, and drive consistency across multiple locations.

The position carries dual responsibility. The Regional Training Manager will serve as the functional leader of a designated home store — while dedicating a significant portion of their schedule to training and development across the broader organization. Critically, this individual must be fully capable of operating their home store independently at the highest standard.

This is not an entry-level management position. We are looking for a professional who has already proven themselves in a demanding food service environment and is ready to apply that experience at an organizational level.

Store Operations — approximately 2 to 3 days per week:

Provide functional leadership and oversight of the home store location

Manage labor scheduling, cost controls, and operational KPIs

Oversee inventory management, ordering, and vendor compliance

Maintain food safety, cleanliness, and brand standards without exception

Develop and support the Assistant Manager in their role and growth

Operate the store independently and at full standard when required, without reliance on support staff

Report directly to ownership on store performance, staffing, and operational needs

Regional Training — approximately 2 to 3 days per week:

Conduct structured training visits across all Wisconsin Subs locations

Train and develop store managers on standard operating procedures, leadership fundamentals, and performance expectations

Onboard and certify new Sandwich Artists to brand and franchise standards

Design, document, and implement repeatable training systems in collaboration with ownership

Assess operational performance across locations, identify deficiencies, and execute corrective action plans

Serve as the organizational standard-bearer — modeling and enforcing what excellence looks like at every level

Within the first 90 days, the Regional Training Manager is expected to:

Establish a clear baseline assessment of operational consistency across all locations

Implement or refine at least one standardized training process with documented outcomes

Demonstrate measurable improvement in the performance of their home store

Build credibility and trust with store-level management across the organization

Longer term, success in this role is defined by fully staffed, consistently performing locations, managers who are more capable and confident as a direct result of your involvement, and training systems that produce results independent of your physical presence.

Minimum 2 years of food service management experience; multi-unit or training-focused experience strongly preferred

Demonstrated ability to lead and develop teams, hold individuals accountable, and drive measurable operational improvement

Comprehensive knowledge of restaurant operations including food safety compliance, labor management, and cost control

Proven capacity to manage a store to full standard independently, without a complete management team in place

Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable presenting performance data and recommendations directly to ownership

Willingness and ability to travel regularly between locations throughout northern Wisconsin

Highly organized, detail-oriented, and capable of managing competing priorities without loss of standards

A direct working relationship with ownership — decisions are made quickly and your input carries weight

Genuine authority to identify problems and implement solutions

Flexible home store location based on the strongest candidate

Competitive compensation commensurate with experience

A clearly defined growth path within an expanding franchise organization that develops and promotes from within

Applications are reviewed directly by ownership. Qualified candidates will be contacted promptly for an introductory conversation.

In your application, please include a brief statement describing your approach to developing people and building operational consistency across a team or organization. This is required and will be the first thing we read.
