About the Role

Are you a proven multi-unit leader looking for stability, career progression, and the resources to win? Our team—the 2025 Burger King Franchisee of the Year—is seeking an experienced District Manager to oversee a network of Burger King locations in the Johnson City, TN area.

As a District Manager, you will serve as the operational anchor for your patch of restaurants. You will lead, mentor, and empower your General Managers to drive sales growth, deliver top-tier guest satisfaction, maintain operational excellence, and build high-performing teams.

Why Join Our Team?

• Industry-Leading Scale & Support: Backed by a parent organization with 475+ locations across 4 major brands (Burger King, Taco Bell, Little Caesars, and Church's Chicken), you receive training, finance, HR, and development infrastructure that single-brand franchisees simply can't match.

• Multi-Brand Growth Opportunities: We are rapidly expanding. Joining our team opens internal career pathways across multiple concepts.

• A Culture That Cares: Through our Employee Cares Fund, we provide direct hardship grants to team members in need—a tangible commitment to taking care of our family.

• Financial Leadership: Take full P&L accountability for your district. Analyze metrics to optimize food cost, labor, guest counts, and overall store profitability.

• Talent Development: Recruit, hire, train, and retain top-tier General Managers and bench talent. Build strong succession plans within your market.

• Culture & Accountability: Foster a positive, high-energy environment aligned with our values while keeping teams focused on key performance indicators (KPIs).

What We Are Looking For

• Experience: 3+ years of successful multi-unit operations experience in Quick Service Restaurants (QSR) or Fast Casual concept required (Burger King or major QSR brand experience preferred).

• Proven Track Record: History of achieving sales targets, managing labor/food costs, and developing restaurant managers into multi-unit leaders.

• Leadership & Drive: Strong communication skills, high emotional intelligence, and a hands-on leadership style.

• Mobility: Valid driver’s license and willingness to travel daily throughout the Johnson City, TN district.

Compensation & Benefits

• Base Salary: $80,000 – $90,000 / year (commensurate with experience)

• Performance Bonus: Competitive, achievable bonus structure tied to district sales, profitability, and operational metrics

• Benefits Package: Health, Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance

• Retirement Options: 401(k) plan

• Perks: Company vehicle allowance / mileage reimbursement, phone allowance, and paid time off (PTO)

• Employee Support: Access to our emergency hardship relief fund
