As a Restaurant Manager , you’ll be the driving force behind daily operations, team performance, and customer satisfaction. You’ll oversee everything from food quality and safety to staffing, training, and profitability.

Lead, coach, and motivate a team of 8–15 employees

Ensure high-quality products and top-notch customer service

Manage labor, food, and supply costs within budget

Oversee cash handling, deposits, and shift reports

Maintain a clean, safe, and compliant restaurant environment

Recruit, train, and develop new team members

Handle scheduling and ensure proper staffing coverage

Execute Papa John’s operational standards and local health regulations

Open and close the restaurant as scheduled

Drive performance and sales through example and leadership

What We’re Looking For

Must be 18 years or older

Prior management experience (restaurant or retail preferred)

Food service or quick-service experience a plus

Reliable transportation and willingness to travel within the Rochester area

Availability to work nights, weekends, and holidays

Ability to work 40+ hours per week and handle a fast-paced environment

Strong leadership, communication, and customer service skills

Manager Benefits

We believe in rewarding hard work with real opportunity and stability.

Our franchise managers enjoy :

Monthly performance-based bonuses

Health insurance (eligibility rules apply)

401(k) Retirement Plan (no employer match currently)

Vacation hours / paid time off

Employee discounts on meals and national retailers

Career growth potential – we promote from within whenever possible

Why Join Us

Papa John’s franchise teams operate with flexibility and independence — not the red tape of corporate systems. You’ll get the best of both worlds : the structure of a proven brand and the freedom to lead your store your way.

If you’re a hands-on leader who thrives in a fast-paced environment and takes pride in results, we want you on our team.
