Restaurant Manager

No restaurant experience is required. A 3-month paid training program and ongoing personal and career development prepare you for a career as a restaurant manager as well as multi-unit leadership roles.

There is no restaurant simulator. We believe in learning by doing. On day one you will put on the uniform, walk into a real Waffle House restaurant and start working alongside a Training Unit Manager. You will do everything they do until it becomes second nature. During this period, you will receive extra training from senior managers as well.Here are some more details:

– 6-on-2-off rotating shift schedule (Work 6 days then you are off 2 days)
– Begin at 6:30AM, end around 4:30PM daily
– Shift-Varied
– 9-12 weeks management training, including:
– 3rd-shift rotations
– Waffle House University course work
– Practice management by running different restaurants before being checked into your restaurant
– Trainees become familiar with team leadership, business systems, hands-on culture

As a Unit Manager, you are in charge of your own restaurant. You will go from learning the basics to being great at running all the aspects of our business: managing, coaching, training, and developing your team of Associates; restaurant service and production, and building relationships with your Customers and the surrounding community.
You will start receiving performance-based compensation. This means you determine how much you make by creating sales and how well you run your restaurant.
