Yoshinoya America,Inc. is hiring a General Manager-Quick Hire! in

Yoshinoya America is a well-established quick service restaurant (QSR) chain specializing in Japanese cuisine, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Yoshinoya Holdings based in Japan. Founded in 1899, Yoshinoya Holdings has built a global reputation with over 2000 stores worldwide, recognized as a leader and innovator in the Japanese QSR segment. Yoshinoya America, with more than 100 locations primarily in Southern California, has been quietly transforming its operations in recent years under new leadership. This revitalization includes new brand positioning, menu innovations, store remodels, upgraded systems, and enhanced execution strategies, leading to a remarkable increase in comp-store sales by over 25 percent — an impressive feat in the competitive QSR market where sales growth has been stagnant. The company’s commitment to quality, customer service, and operational excellence continues to drive its growth trajectory. With ongoing store remodels and plans to expand into new markets, Yoshinoya America is preparing for nearly doubling its footprint in the coming years. This presents a unique opportunity for committed and driven individuals to join a company on the cusp of significant expansion and success. Known internally as Southern California's best-kept secret, Yoshinoya emphasizes a culture of continuous improvement, leadership development, and hands-on management. The roles currently available are Assistant Manager and General Manager positions which are critical to the company’s growth and operational success. These leadership roles come with a hands-on approach where managers are expected to lead by example. General Managers oversee store operations as if they own the business, managing everything from hiring and training to operational execution and P&L management. Assistant Managers are positioned as future General Managers, with a clear pathway to advancement supported by comprehensive training programs. Both positions require a blend of operational leadership and on-the-floor engagement, meaning managers work alongside their teams during peak hours as cooks, cashiers, or expeditors to maintain service standards. This is not a conventional office role; it requires energetic, self-starting leaders who thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy direct interaction with their teams and customers. Good communication skills, a strong supervisory capability, and flexible scheduling are essential. Yoshinoya values stability and a history of progression in its candidates, rewarding dedication and results with competitive pay and a supportive work environment. The company emphasizes work-life balance by adopting a 45-hour workweek with strategic scheduling from Tuesday to Monday, allowing General Managers more opportunity to take consecutive days off. Compensation ranges from $26.00 to $29.00 per hour, depending on experience, paired with an attractive benefits package including multiple health and dental insurance plans with low premiums, company-paid life and long-term disability insurance, paid vacation, holiday and sick leave, a 401(k) retirement plan, and flexible spending accounts. Yoshinoya America not only offers a job but a career pathway with training and advancement prospects aligned with its growth plans. For ambitious leaders passionate about the QSR industry, Yoshinoya represents a promising opportunity to grow professionally while contributing to a dynamic and evolving brand. Potential candidates will find an engaging workplace where their leadership skills can directly influence business success and customer satisfaction.
