General Manager-Simi Valley,CA Position in Simi Valley,CA,USA

Yoshinoya America is a dynamic leader in the quick service restaurant (QSR) industry, renowned for its rich heritage and innovative approach to Japanese cuisine. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Yoshinoya Holdings, a company founded in 1899 with over 2000 stores worldwide, Yoshinoya America continues to uphold the legacy of quality and excellence while adapting to modern market demands. With over 100 stores, including more than 70 company-owned locations primarily in Southern California, the brand has carved out a unique niche as a beloved and fast-growing QSR chain. Yoshinoya America's commitment to innovation is evident in their recent brand repositioning, updated menu offerings, extensive remodels, and upgraded operational systems. This strategic evolution has resulted in a compelling growth trajectory, with a remarkable comp-store sales increase of over 25 percent in the last four years, outpacing the broader QSR industry where growth has been stagnant. The company is poised for significant expansion, with plans to nearly double its size as it remodels existing stores and opens new locations in untapped markets. For professionals who are passionate about leadership and seeking to advance their careers within the food service industry, Yoshinoya offers a compelling platform packed with opportunity and growth potential. Yoshinoya is currently seeking motivated individuals for leadership roles, specifically Assistant Managers and General Managers, to join their team and play a pivotal role in this exciting phase of the company's growth. These are hands-on leadership positions that require individuals to actively participate in everyday operations while driving business results and maintaining high standards of quality, safety, and customer hospitality. The General Manager role expects a strong sense of ownership and accountability as they essentially run their stores independently, overseeing all key aspects including hiring, training, operational execution, quality control, safety compliance, and profit and loss (P&L) management. Assistant Managers are groomed to become future General Managers, with comprehensive training and support to prepare them for advancement. These roles are not office-based but involve being on the front lines alongside team members, contributing as cooks, cashiers, and expeditors during peak hours to lead by example and foster a collaborative work environment. The company values self-starters who thrive in fast-paced, multitasking environments and are committed to delivering superior customer experiences. Yoshinoya distinguishes itself by offering competitive base salaries, opportunities for career growth, and an attractive benefits package—highlighting a 45-hour workweek designed to promote work-life balance, paid vacation and holidays, health insurance options with low premiums, company-paid life insurance and disability coverage, and retirement benefits through a 401(k) plan.
