The General Manager role at Checkers & Rally's is an essential leadership position within the Corporate Field Operations team. This role focuses on driving the restaurant's overall success by executing strategic plans to meet and exceed sales and profit goals while ensuring exceptional guest and team experiences.

A key responsibility in this role is staffing management — determining the right personnel needs, recruiting suitable candidates, and ensuring that shifts are efficiently staffed to maintain consistent operational performance and guest satisfaction. Leadership and training are crucial aspects of the position, requiring the General Manager to provide ongoing coaching, performance feedback, and development opportunities for both team members and managers to uphold the company’s high standards for service and operational procedures.
