About The Position

Welcome. We’re glad you’re here! At JRI Hospitality, we believe food is the best way to bring people together. Our team strives to create an experience for our guests they won’t forget, and you can be part of that experience. As a food-focused and people-first company, it’s different at JRI. Beyond great food and exceptional hospitality, our multiple brands, locations and planned growth means development and growth opportunities for our team members. We invest in our people to ensure they are developed in an environment to prosper and grow. We are proud to celebrate diversity and inclusion and are committed to being a place people want to work. We want our friends and neighbors to enjoy our food and to consider being part of our team. Founded in 2011, JRI Hospitality owns and operates 80+ restaurants in 11 states, including Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers. JRI continues to open stores across the country and additional locations are planned in Texas, Georgia, Arizona, and Kansas in the near future. There are opportunities here not just for a job, but for a career with JRI Hospitality. If you are committed to your career, we want to be part of your development and journey. As a Restaurant Operating Partner (ROP), you are the leader of your restaurant, coaching and developing team members so you, your team members and your store are successful. As the business leader, you have operational and financial responsibility for your restaurant (financial, labor, hospitality, etc.). In the ROP role, you will hire, train, and develop team members and managers that share the Freddy’s and JRI Hospitality culture and commitment to great food, exceptional hospitality and a relentless focus on cleanliness and safety. Simply put, as a leader, the ROP sets the tone for the restaurant, ensuring its business success and that it becomes a place where team members have fun and people want to work. Successful ROPs focus on and consistently achieve objectives via key performance indicators (KPIs) such as driving sales, guest count, profitability, hospitality, safety and cleanliness, food, and labor costs, etc. We're more than your next job - we work together to inspire, encourage, share a passion and demonstrate our love for food & hospitality! If you enjoy serving others and helping team members grow, we’d like to hear from you.
