General Manager - Path to Ownership at Culver's

We're hiring General Managers across our growing group of Culver's restaurants — roles with full P&L ownership, a real annual bonus, and a defined mentee-to-owner program for GMs who want to one day operate their own Culver's. If you've been running a restaurant and asking "what's next?" — this is what's next.

Compensation:

$25.00 per hour# - $30.00 per hour# base salary based on experience
Annual performance bonus tied to restaurant results
Health, Dental & Vision benefits
Paid time off (PTO)
Free meals on shift and free uniforms
Direct deposit and Next Day Pay options
Paid best-in-class leadership training through Culver's national programs

The Path to Ownership:

This is the part most QSR jobs can't offer. We have a real, defined mentee-to-owner program for GMs who consistently deliver results and want to build toward operating their own Culver's restaurant. It's not a slogan — it's a structured path with mentorship, business education, and a clear set of milestones.

It takes years of hard work and proven results. Not every GM will get there, and we're honest about that. But if ownership is what you're after, this is one of the few QSR roles in the country with a legitimate path to it.

What You'll Own:

Full P&L responsibility — sales, labor, food cost, profitability
Leadership of a 50-80 person team, including your Manager and shift leaders
Hiring, developing, and retaining great people
Hitting KPIs: guest satisfaction, speed of service, operational scores
Food safety, brand standards, and overall restaurant performance
Building a culture that makes people want to stay

Who We're Looking For:

3+ years of restaurant management experience (GM, AGM, or strong Manager looking to step up)
Strong financial acumen — you can read a P&L and act on it
Confident, calm leader who develops people rather than just managing them
Comfortable owning outcomes and working independently
Availability across day, evening, and weekend shifts as the business requires
Must be 18+

Job Details:

Job Type: Full-Time, Salaried
Compensation: $25.00 per hour# - $30.00 per hour# + annual bonus
