About The Position

A Zeeks General Manager is the host of the party, and the leader of their store… they’re responsible for all aspects of the restaurants’ success! Our GMs understand the overall mission, culture, and philosophy of Zeeks and are able to translate and implement them effectively on a day-to-day basis. Zeeks is fanatical about its standards for food quality, cleanliness and customer service, and bringing a kickass experience to our guests. At your store, you’ll need to direct others to achieve their goals, and must be able to communicate effectively and delegate. The ability to remain level-headed under stress and stay positive is a must, because life is way too short to work with assholes!
